Today I came back from a week motorcycling through Eastern Germany and the Czech Republic and after about 1.800 kilometers the bike broke down. Well, that means I will have to go easy on pipes the next month. A little solace was this special Calabash that was already waiting for me at home. It is new, handmade and I´ve got it from Ebay for a mere 20 Euros!

I nearly felt sorry for the seller/maker that he only made a measly 20 Euros for all his work. Ok, that´s Ebay for you...

I will fire the little bugger up now and let you know ow it smokes.

which the world knows not;
and often times we call a man cold
when he is only sad.

This is the part that really grabbed my attention ... How fun!

That's a unique, thinking outside the box approach to a Calabash. My only concern would be going a bit cross-eyed, looking at that cap/insert whilst smoking.
