Thought you guys might like to see my Vienna Meerschaum.

If I am not mistaken they were the original maker of the pipe Mr.Van Cleef Smoked in the movie.

I'm not sure how they got these to color as they did, but it makes a cool looking pipe.

Beautiful pipe, it almost looks like it has been heated with a torch of some kind. Whatever was done definitely makes it appealing. I hope it smokes as good as it looks.

It was explained to me by a Turkish pipe dealer. The color comes from partially waxing the pipe and heating it in an oven. He called it the "Owen" method.

Fellas, thanks for the comments.

I recently had Mike Myers at walker pipe repair open the airway up a little.

It smokes nicely.
