Inglourious Basterds - The Calabash Pipe

Handmade Calabash Pipe 

This one was carved according to the Inglourius Basterds Model, of which the manufacturer sadly retired. The corpus is actually made from a genuine calabash (pumpkin), it's not made of wood. Hence, the corresponding product price. Calabash has become a very precious material.

Since the movie was released in 2009 I was asked many times, if I could provide a pipe as seen in the movie. I found the manufacturer by chance four years later.  This is according to the manufacturer the exact same model from the same manufacturer, who made the original pipe for the Inglourious Basterds movie as seen in the depicted scene. Christoph Waltz smokes this pipe model incorporating his character SS-Standartenführer Hans Landa, for which got the Oscar. The manufacturer told me: [...] The filmmakers bought the pipe regularly. The middle part is white, the material turns in yellow after some time. The bit is tortoise-shell colour and made of precious resin from German origin. So, it's no Acryl, no sprayed colour. [...]

This is meant to point out clearly that this pipe is no official merchandise and is connected in no way to the Movie Company or producers. This is no official merchandise, but an item according to the construction as seen in the movie. The original manufacturer makes this by hand in the exact same way as they made the film-pipe. She sadly retired in the meantime, so we had to discontinue the production. It goes without saying that possible copyrights resp. associated trade mark rights are vested in the right holders and are hereby not affected. Among others these right holders are mentioned: Universal Pictures and Weinstein Co.. Thus, this links to the Official Website of the highly recommend Tarantino Movie. Further Details, also related to DVD and BluRay are provided by Universal. (Please buy the great release on Blu Ray Disc, if you take interest in the movie.)


This pipe is a completely handmade product. This model is only made in small quantity and made on request. (The displayed quantity in my stock is always current and up to date.) It's our shape and design, exclusively made for us.

The manufacturer referring to the composition of this pipe: The middle part is white, the material turns in yellow after some time. The bit is tortoise-shell color and made of precious resin from German origin. So, it's no Acryl, no sprayed color.
The main part is made of Calabash with an insertion of original Meerschaum.
Dimensions ca.23 x 13 x 7.5 CM
Important: Calabashes are one of a kind. Each Calabash is genuine. So, each pipe is unique. The pictures show a regular pipe.

A Calabash Pipe doesn't need to be seasoned. The Meerschauminsertion doesn't demand for special seasoning. Please don't use acute or sharp smoker tools with this pipe resp. use them carefully. Meerschaum is sensitive to stitches.

As this is made by a small manufacturer, who only produces handmade products, each pipe is a unique item. Shape and Dimensions are identical. For illustration purposes these are 2 pipes shown parallely. (Included in delivery is of course only one pipe.)

Each pipe comes in a unique case that's specially made for each pipe individually. This case allows transporting the dissambled pipe securely. The case is shockproof and sturdy.
