Meerschaum Pipes

We only import 100% Turkish Meerschaum Pipes. These are hand carved pipes made by some of the finest craftsmen in Turkey. Meerschaum products traditionally were made in manufacturing centres such as Vienna. Since the 1970s, though, Turkey has banned the exportation of meerschaum nodules, trying to set up a local meerschaum industry. The once famous manufacturers have therefore disappeared. Nowadays, meerschaum pipes not obtained from Turkish producers are usually made of pressed meerschaum or African meerschaum, which are inferior in quality.

All our Meerschaum pipes come with a violin case for keeping it safe when not in use or in transit.
