African Wood Meerschaum Lined Billiard Pipe

African Wood Meerschaum Lined Billiard Pipe - Enjoy a refined smoking experience with this African meerschaum-lined billiard pipe, designed for those who favor a classic straight profile. The richly toned hardwood bowl is finished to a smooth, high-gloss polish, highlighting the natural beauty of the grain. Within, a genuine African block meerschaum lining provides a cool, dry, and flavorful smoke—blending the superior smoking qualities of meerschaum with the strength and durability of hardwood.

A long, straight shank reinforced with a sturdy metal connector flows seamlessly into a black vulcanite stem, ensuring a comfortable draw and reliable everyday use. Lightweight yet well-balanced, this pipe is ideally suited for shorter, satisfying sessions, making it a dependable daily smoker and a distinctive addition to any collection.

The stem is stamped with the iconic white Kilimanjaro rhinoceros logo, a mark of authenticity and a tribute to African craftsmanship. One side of the shank is stamped “Made in Tanganyika,” while the opposite side reads “14 Kilimanjaro,” confirming its origin as a rare African-made meerschaum-lined pipe.

In 1955, Kenyan businessmen established the Tanganyika Meerschaum Corporation after meerschaum was discovered near the surface of Mount Kilimanjaro. Meerschaum from this region of East Africa was known for being tougher and less porous than Turkish meerschaum. Following the 1964 union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar to form Tanzania, the company soon closed—making surviving examples increasingly collectible.

Although over half a century old, this pipe remains unsmoked and in pristine, like-new condition. It includes its original box, which shows only minimal wear.
