MEERSCHAUM PIPES
The Ultimate Pipe For Enjoying The Pleasures Of Pipe Smoking
Meerschaum is a very unique white clay like mineral originating
from the country of Turkey. It is prized for its plasticity
which allows it to be carved into many decorative and figural
shapes. The word "meerschaum" means "sea foam"
in German, alluding to its natural white color and its surprisingly
low weight. However, meerschaum is a very porous mineral that
absorbs elements of the tobacco during the smoking process,
and gradually changes color to a golden brown. Old, well-smoked
meerschaum pipes are prized for their distinctive coloring.
