African Wood Apple Meerschaum Lined Pipe

African Wood Apple Meerschaum Lined Pipe - An African meerschaum-lined apple pipe is styled for the discerning pipe enthusiast who appreciates this form and function. The classic pipe showcases the warm, earthy elegance of African pipewood, lightly polished to a glossy, smooth finish that reveals its naturally rich horizontal grain. The inside of the bowl is lined with solid block African meerschaum, ensuring a cool, dry smoke—combining the traditional cooling benefits of meerschaum with the strength and resilience of hardwood.

A solid metal fitting secures the long shank to a tapered black vulcanite stem, offering both comfort and lasting durability. Elegant and practical, the pipe delivers a refined smoking experience while standing out as 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.
