An extraordinary gourd pipe from the Andreas Bauer & sons collection of Vienna.

Andreas Bauer inherited the legacy of the Strambach company of which he was first a student and then production manager, later he founded his own company to produce exclusive calabash pipes.

Master turner, his goal now consists in the marketing of fine pipes bearing the name of the company Andreas Bauer & sons of Vienna.

In addition to the blocky meerschaum models, laboriously carved and decorated largely with artistic silver applications, the company manufactures Calabash pipes with colored heads as well as inexpensive pipes of pressed meerschaum.

The pipes of Andreas Bauer & sons of Vienna were made personally and exclusively by hand, they were the result of a long and patient process.

Now the company has closed and its gourd pipes called Calabash are considered antique treasures, to show off for pipe collectors.

Characteristic of Andreas Bauer's pipes is the curved shape of a croissant or calabash, imaginative, artistic, linked to the character of Sherlock Holmes.

Classics are carved in the most selected and precious pumpkin while the stove is in meerschaum.

The stove is small and very light, but combined with the smoke expansion vessel, created by the body of the gourd, it generates soft and dry smoke.

Small pipe made from dried African pumpkin and lined with sea foam on the inside to prevent burning of the natural material with which it is made.

The cooler and drier smoke is the prerogative of this pipe in fact passing through the expansion chamber that is created under the stove and coming into contact with the natural walls you get the benefits of fresh and dry smokes, soft in taste.

Each pipe by Andreas Bauer & sons of Vienna is a unique and unrepeatable piece and the photos you see portray this exclusive pipe, once purchased, it will be removed from the catalogue.
