What About This?
A friend of mine gifted me this pipe. He found it when cleaning us an old house he bought. I guess it's old. The stem is oddly flexible, but can't guess what it's made of. Leather? :O If someone has any info, guesses or otherwise witty comments (I'm afraid in adwance) they're welcome. :)- mithridate

Hi! I just bought a Strambach Vienna meerschaum pipe. There was two models: One with a bent stem, and another with straight one. I liked more the bent stem, so I ended up walking out of the store carrying it, and I was a happy man. Having smoked it once, I still am, just there occurred a little...- mithridate
