Somehow it always gives me the warm fuzzies when people use fandom-related objects to cheer themselves up <3 That's great and nothing to be ashamed of.

I do this with a Sherlock Holmes pipe (which is, by the way, not a calabash). Even though I don't smoke.

As a pipe smoker myself, bless you. In the original canon, he's just got a nice, simple briar. Though I think there was also a reference to a meerschaum someplace? It's been a while.

I admit the calabash is cool-looking; I once read that it crept in via early stage adaptations, because it's easily identifiable from the balcony.

Aww! Yes, as far as I remember, Holmes has a meerschaum, too.

I think pipe-smooking in general looks unbelievably cool. When somebody with a pipe passes me in the street, I actually need to restrain myself from giving them a look full of weird delight because I start thinking of sea adventures and brave captains and Gandalf and Holmes. Which is probably a bit creepy.

I once read that it crept in via early stage adaptations, because it's easily identifiable from the balcony.

That'd be a good explanation. It looks so big compared to other common types of pipes.
