This beautiful GOLD GILDED Bent 'APPLE' shaped pipe in MEERSCHAUM with gorgeous Gilded Rim and Shank with an Acrylic Tortoiseshell stem was made by the well known STRAMBACH of Austria. It is in NEW and UNSMOKED MINT condition and is as rare as it is beautiful. Featuring the desirable delrin push in stem and shank design that uses 9mm filters and the original factory marked box. Also included: A pair of thin white gloves to prevent contact with finger oils while handling it before breaking it in or for the long term collector. This gorgeous MEERSCHAUM is hand crafted in Austria with a history of pipe making that goes back to 1904. STRAMBACH is one of the BEST Meerschaum and Calabash Gourd makers in the history of pipes and utilized the highest quality materials and craftsmanship. They were the brand of Calabash smoked in the Quentin Tarantino movie "Inglorious B******s" and were known to rival and even surpass the famed Andreas Bauer pipes also of Austria. The smooth and ghost-less smoking qualities of Meerschaum creates a cool and pleasant smoking experience perfect for many of your favorite pipe tobacco blends. I find the meerschaum pipes to be the best way to taste and evaluate new tobacco blends as they do not retain any of the previous tobaccos and can be smoked much more rigorously than briar pipes. As they are smoked the meerschaum will naturally color, making each pipe unique. Meerschaum is also perfect for heavy daily use and smoking in wind or while driving as it is impervious to burnout or damage that can happen to briar or other pipes. These pipes are highly prized and this is a great example of their quality in design, manufacture and beauty. It is light for its size, easily clench-able and sure to become one of your favorite smokers. These Strambach pipes have not been available anywhere. Now available and priced at a huge bargain. This is a perfect pipe for any smoker whether new to pipes or a veteran. Every pipe collection needs at least one high end hand carved Meerschaum and this one has the perfect look and feel for any collection. You will absolutely love how it smokes!!!
