A smooth white meerschaum pipe, a classic straight bulldog model with a traditional mouthpiece in yellow, amber-striped methacrylate. The pipe is very elegant and refined; the white colour lends it a sense of purity. It is a medium-sized pipe and is distinguished by a spacious bowl, ensuring excellent smokeability in any situation. Its lightness makes it ideal for any smoking session, whether out for a walk or comfortably seated in an armchair, although many people are reluctant to carry it about. Indeed, if a meerschaum pipe falls to the ground, only the mouthpiece survives. The characteristic of meerschaum is that it enhances the flavour of the tobacco without adding or taking anything away. It is said to have no ‘memory’ as, even when changing blends, it leaves no unpleasant residues. It requires no ‘breaking in’ and does not suffer from scorching. The beauty of meerschaum lies in observing the changes it undergoes with each smoke. It changes from white to amber, then turns pink and, finally, becomes brown. The pipe is smooth but with tiny imperfections and is adorned with delicate decorations. Rating: Group 9.
