Not a bad imitation Calabash - but a bit heavy.
The description of the pipe tells yo upfront it isn't a real Calabash. It's not made from the gourd and it isn't lined with meerschaum. But for an imitation it has a nice look, although heavier than some Calabashes I've had in the past. I think it is the porcelain that adds so much weight. It tends to burn a bit hotter than I expected (the porcelain again) and with it's heft, you won't be hanging it off your lip. But it is still a reasonable pleasant pipe to smoke once broken in.
