A hand-carved white meerschaum pipe, featuring a maiden design with a traditional mouthpiece in amber-striped yellow methacrylate. The pipe is very elegant and refined, with the white colour lending it a sense of purity. It is generously sized and stands out for its 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 do not dare 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, eventually, becomes brown. Depending on the thickness, the shade of colour changes, and for these carved pipes, this gives them greater depth. Single-group rating.
The pipe for sale is exactly as shown in the photos. Once sold, as it is handmade and therefore unique, the pipe will be removed from the website. The actual colour of the pipe may vary slightly from the photo as every monitor has its own colour tone. The dimensions have been measured accurately but may vary by a millimetre, either way.
