Picked up a Zenith a few years back and haven't smoked it much as it smokes hot as hades. Anyone have any info on these pipes and how to maintain them? It has a rubber bung military mount.

I found a picture of your pipe titled "Zenith Holland". Apparently made in the Netherlands but I could not find which factory produced it they appear to have specialized in ceramic pipes. Good luck with your research.
I never saw this thread but its interesting, I'm guessing not the same company as Radio/TV makers?
I collected porcelain/clay pipes for awhile, and honestly I think most Zenith pipes were tourist trinkets and not made with a smoker in mind.
If you want a good double walled clay, find a LePeltier. They are made for smoking, in the USA

I've bought 2 more Zeniths from the local B+M as I find them perfect for trying new tobacco at a very reasonable price.
Porcelain is more along the lines of clay pipes only this are double wall pipes. The space between the walls acts almost like a calabash's cooling chamber. They do get hot, not as hot as a clay, if you smoke to fast. Unlike brylon, these pipes are pretty fragile and will surely shatter if dropped. The stems are a rubber sealed military mount that has held up very well with little maintanance.
