A white carved meerschaum pipe, featuring a dragon design on an Olyphant-style bowl with a traditional mouthpiece made of 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 seasoning and does not suffer from burning. The beauty of meerschaum lies in observing the changes it undergoes as you smoke it. It changes from white to amber, then turns pink and, finally, becomes brown. Depending on the thickness, the shade of colour changes and, for these carved pipes, this gives them greater depth. Single lot.
