This elegant vintage calabash pipe combines traditional design with high-quality craftsmanship. The pipe bowl is made of genuine calabash , a natural material known for its smooth smoking properties. The mouthpiece is made of Bakelite , a durable and historic plastic once considered a luxurious alternative to amber.

Why is this pipe special?
Bakelite was a popular material for high-quality pipe mouthpieces in the early 20th century. It is more robust than amber, yet still has a pleasantly smooth surface and a slight transparency. While amber has a warm feel, Bakelite is harder and has a slightly hollow sound when tapped.

This pipe is not only a beautiful addition to any collection , but is also perfect for stylish connoisseurs.

Care instructions:

Clean the mouthpiece with a soft cloth (do not use water!)

Store in a dry place to avoid material damage

If used: Regular cleaning with special pipe cleaner
