Turkish Estates: SMS Meerschaum Lattice Calabash (with Case) Tobacco Pipe
Product Number: 004-653-6581
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 a neutral flavor, the pale medium also develops a patina over time, darkening with vibrant browns, golds, and tans. This lattice-carved Calabash by SMS showcases the quality craftsmanship that can be rendered from the unique medium, and it comes included with a custom-made, hard-shell case.
