Calabash Rusticated Fishtail Tobacco Pipe

It's no surprise this Calabash from Peterson is often considered a "lady's pipe." Its form is so fine and slender that it could have easily been designed to compliment a woman's delicate fingers. A man's hands can only appear as crude instruments by comparison. With such charming form, this pipe would make a fine present for any woman who might have an interest in life's more refined means of self-indulgence. (Or Sykes, I guess, who likes to go on about how much he adores adorable little pipes. some day he'll start knitting little sweater vests for them, I suppose.)
