African Wood Apple Straight Meerschaum Lined Pipe

 African Wood Apple Straight Meerschaum Lined Pipe - Crafted for the discerning pipe enthusiast, this African meerschaum-lined apple pipe blends timeless style with practical performance. The bowl showcases the warm, earthy tones of African pipewood, polished to a smooth, glossy finish that accentuates its natural grain. Inside, a solid block of African meerschaum lines the chamber, ensuring a cool, dry, and flavorful smoke—combining the cooling qualities of meerschaum with the strength of hardwood.

A sturdy metal fitting joins the long shank to a tapered black vulcanite stem, providing both comfort and lasting durability. Elegant yet functional, this pipe delivers a refined smoking experience and makes a distinctive addition to any collection.

A mark of quality and authenticity, the stem is stamped with the iconic white Kilimanjaro rhinoceros logo, a subtle tribute to African craftsmanship and wildlife. Stamped on one side of the shank is "4 Kilimanjaro" with "Made in Tanganyika," stamped on the opposite side, making this an authentic and rare meerschaum-lined pipe from Africa.

In 1955, Kenyan businessmen from Nairobi established the Tanganyika Meerschaum Corporation after a meerschaum mine was discovered close to the surface on Mount Kilimanjaro. The meerschaum from this part of East Africa was known to be tougher, less porous, and priced less than Turkish meerschaum. Tanganyika and Zanzibar merged and became known as Tanzania in October of 1964. The company closed soon after.

Although the pipe is over a half century old, it is unsmoked in brand-new, pristine condition. The pipe comes with its original box, which shows minimal wear and tear.
