Meerschaum Lined African Pipewood Nose Warmer Pipe

Meerschaum Lined African Pipewood Nose Warmer Pipe - Experience compact luxury with this African meerschaum-lined nose warmer pipe, crafted for the discerning pipe enthusiast who appreciates the form and function of this style. Designed in the popular nose warmer tobacco pipe style, this short yet striking pipe showcases the warm, earthy elegance of African pipewood, polished to a glossy, smooth finish that reveals its naturally rich 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 robustness of hardwood. A solid metal fitting joins the elongated shank to a stubby black vulcanite straight stem, offering a comfortable grip and long-lasting durability.

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.
