Martin Fierro Imperial Premium Black

A premium imperial gourd from Martin Fierro: natural calabash in black leather, with a chiselled wide alpaca ring and an alpaca base. Handmade in Argentina.

Why you'll like it:

• Martin Fierro's premium finish: a hand-chiselled alpaca ring and a matching alpaca base.
• The base lets the gourd stand steady on its own, so you can put it down mid-session.
• Natural calabash inside for the traditional taste. A gourd for life, or a gift to remember.

Before first use: A natural calabash needs curing. Fill it with used, wet yerba and hot (not boiling) water, leave it for 24 hours, then empty it and let it dry completely.

Care: Empty it after every session and let it dry open to the air. Keep the leather dry: wipe it with a soft cloth and never soak the gourd or put it in the dishwasher.

Pairs well with: the Bombilla Pico de Loro and a classic Uruguayan yerba such as Canarias.
