A Meerschaum Pipe is the most flavorful and beautiful tobacco pipe you can own and provides a very unique smoking experience. Meerschaum – one of the most porous substances found in nature – acts as a filter, absorbs tobacco tars and nicotine, and yields a most satisfying smoke. Meerschaum smokes cool and dry with a flavor unrivaled by any other tobacco pipe.
As it ages, meerschaum colors a rich honey-brown, improving both in appearance and taste. Meerschaum Pipes – with a minimum of proper care – will last for a lifetime. They will not burn out as briars do.
A Meerschaum Pipe is an investment in smoking pleasure. As beautiful as meerschaum is to the eye, its true beauty must be experienced by smoking. A meerschaum pipe is made to smoke. Hold it. Enjoy its light weight and silky feel, its distinctive taste, its ripening to a mellow golden-brown. Justly deserving its reputation as the "aristocrat" of tobacco pipes, the meerschaum is not meant for the connoisseur alone. All tobacco pipe smokers can appreciate the unique pleasure of meerschaum.
