Deluxe Cottom's Choice Limited Edition Sitter Meerschaum Pipe

Deluxe Cottom's Choice Limited Edition Sitter Meerschaum Pipe - Limited Edition No. 40 of only 50 pipes produced in 2008, this Cottom's Choice meerschaum pipe is a scarce and highly desirable collectible from one of the final annual releases in the celebrated series. The shank is carved with "Limited 40/50" on one side and "Cottom's Choice 2008" on the other, permanently documenting its place in this exclusive production.

The pipe features a tall Dublin bowl with a smooth, mirror-polished finish that beautifully showcases the natural purity of genuine solid block meerschaum. A flat-bottomed bowl allows the pipe to sit upright when not in use, while the elongated smooth shank and tapered black acrylic straight stem create a refined, well-balanced profile with timeless appeal.

For many years, respected tobacconist and pipe authority Tom Cottom selected a single meerschaum design each year for production under the Cottom's Choice name. Only fifty pipes were commissioned annually, each carved from premium Turkish solid block meerschaum by master artisans. Following the conclusion of the series—and especially after Tom Cottom's passing in 2016—these limited editions became increasingly difficult to acquire and remain highly sought after by collectors.

Hand-carved in Turkey from genuine 100% solid block meerschaum, each pipe is individually crafted and finished with a protective coating of natural beeswax that enhances the cool, dry, neutral smoking qualities for which meerschaum is renowned. Unlike briar, no break-in period is required, and with continued use the surface gradually develops rich honey, golden, and amber tones, creating a distinctive patina that reflects its smoking history.

For storage and presentation, the pipe includes its original custom-fitted burgundy leather case with a soft velvet lining.

Combining documented rarity, exceptional Turkish craftsmanship, and outstanding smoking performance, this Limited Edition Cottom's Choice 2008 No. 40 of 50 Meerschaum Pipe represents an increasingly rare opportunity to own a significant piece of modern meerschaum pipe history.
