Churchwarden Meerschaum Pipes - Standard Claw

I would love to add the customer service is absolutely amazing! Respond in a professional and timely manner. It was honestly the best customer service I've ever experienced.

It is meerschaum, no doubt. The bowl gets hot and can only hold it by the claws where the meerschaum is thicker. It is a really small bowl, so if you like a long smoke be prepared to refill it. On the plus side the bowl is small enough you can smoke both of your favorite tobaccos at one sitting.

The material of the pipe is inferior and is not treated with bee wax or anything that prevents the resin seeping through the pipe bowl. The nicotine sweats on the outside of the bowl beyond just being stained from use. It will stain your fingers, hand and clothing if you aren't careful. The material is fragile and my pipe broke due from the heating and expansion of the plastic connection of the stem. It lasted 3 weeks and the money wasted on an inferior pipe.

It is really meerschaum, just in case people was curious. Browned during first packing and light. Nice pipe.

Love it

No complaints thus far, after several bowlfuls. The quality seems good, and the smoking cool. But I do not smoke this one exclusively.
