I imagine they still are in the Gracias a Dios area by the Rio Coco ... along with a lot of coca.forrest-hunter said:These items where still being used in the '60's by campesinos in Honduras - I used these items as a child and teenager while hunting in the mountains and jungles - a corn cob was used as a cork

The gourd on the right, I cut and cleaned out, then sealed it inside and out with beeswax so they all are waterproof.

The gourd was a better choice than just taking a drink directly from the jug. Have a few friends that were alway looking for a free drink, never thought about the jug and who drank out of it last. They got some pretty good colds, sores on their lips and so on, their doctors said probably gotten from someone they kissed or from that damn rendezvous jug. :afro:Mofish said:When I was younger and could still rendezvous like I wanted, we used gourds pretty regularly. You sit around the fire at night and some old codger offers you a drink of pie out of his jug, and it's a wonder your gourd doesn't dissolve right on the spot. They could sure mix up some potent stuff !
