Original Sherlock Holmes Calabash Pipe / Red
A calabash pipe in RED offers a smoking experience that is notably cool, dry, and mellow. This is due to the unique construction where the smoke, as it passes through the air chamber inside the mahogany, sheds a significant amount of heat, moisture, and strength. The mahogany chamber effectively retains much of the heat and moisture from the burning tobacco before the smoke flows into the stem. This design, with its low center of gravity, allows for easy handling by the mouth alone, leaving the user's hands free. This particular feature has been especially appreciated by actors seeking to portray characters who smoke while engaging in other activities. This is why the iconic character Sherlock Holmes, though not originally associated with this type of pipe in the stories, has become stereotypically linked with it, largely due to early dramatic portrayals, notably those featuring William Gillette, who made this artistic choice.
