Turkish Estates: CAO Meerschaum Carved Armadillo (with Case) (Unsmoked) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-653-5487
Before the utilization of briar, meerschaum was the preferred pipe-making material, its relative durability making it a popular alternative to clay. German for "sea foam", meerschaum is a porous substance that's easily pliable when wet and sturdy when dry. The material's malleability allows carvers to fashion a variety of unique shapes, from traditional Anglo-French standards to more detail-rich figural designs. In addition to smoking with neutral flavor, the pale medium also develops a patina over time, darkening with vibrant browns, golds, and tans. This Armadillo from CAO showcases the medium's versatility and the level of detail that can be extrapolated from the material.
