Hi folks,

Does anyone know where I might be able to find a Calabash pipe in Dublin?

I'm looking for the one in the picture below. (I hope the link works)

Afraid not. They do this brand but not the actual pipe in the picture.

Sherlock uses one and thats enough reason for anyone these days it seems.

On the other hand it could because of it's material. Pipes are made form many different substances, wood, meerschaum, corn husks. The calabash is made from the stem of a gourd and that in itself makes it an interesting collectors piece - for pipe smokers anyway.

Cool, I have 3 pipes myself. I was just curious!

As OldGoat has pointed out Shelock Holmes had one and the German in Inglorious Bastards had one too.

I guessed if a Nazis and Shelock Holmes had one then I need to get one too.
