Meerschaum Lined African Nose Warmer Pipewood Pipe

Meerschaum Lined African Nose Warmer Pipewood Pipe - Experience the refined balance of style and function with this African meerschaum-lined nose warmer pipe, thoughtfully crafted for the discerning pipe smoker. Designed in the beloved compact nose warmer style, this short yet striking piece blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary elegance. The bowl is sculpted from warm-toned African pipewood, polished to a high gloss that highlights its naturally rich grain. Inside, a solid block of African meerschaum lines the chamber, ensuring a cool, dry smoke—uniting the time-honored cooling properties of meerschaum with the strength of hardwood. A sturdy metal tenon fitting reinforces the connection between the elongated shank and the short, straight black vulcanite stem, offering both a secure fit and a comfortable grip. Compact yet commanding, this pipe is perfect for connoisseurs seeking an easy-to-carry pipe that doesn’t compromise on performance.

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 "Made in Tanganyika," with "396 Kilimanjaro" 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.
