    Is my Pioneer Meerschaum Authentic?

    When the pipe heats up the outer bowl gets sticky. Can someone provide me with a link on how to pack the compact strip tobacco please?

    Is my Pioneer Meerschaum Authentic?

    While I'm here my brand of pipe tobacco is tin "Log Cabin." It's compressed into strips. How should I pack this kind of tobacco in my pipe?

    Is my Pioneer Meerschaum Authentic?

    "The coloring on the outside of the bowl is from smoking the pipe and that's a good thing..." The pipe is unsmoked so the colouring can't be from smoking.

    Is my Pioneer Meerschaum Authentic?

    "Sure looks like meershaum ... what makes you think it might not be?" For a start there is an absence of the 'P' logo. This makes me suspicious. The yellow colouring on the pipe is not present on the inside of the bowl which makes me think the pipe has been coloured somehow.

    Is my Pioneer Meerschaum Authentic?

    Are there any tests to see if it is Meerschaum? I'm not too concerned if it isn't a Pioneer just that it's meerschaum. Here is the pic, it was listed as "Pioneer Block Meerschaum, 1970."

    Is my Pioneer Meerschaum Authentic?

    Also, how can I tell if my pipe is genuine meerschaum?

    Is my Pioneer Meerschaum Authentic?

    Hi, I just bought a Pioneer Meerschaum from eBay. It wasn't cheap; it cost over $100. When it arrived I noticed that it didn't have the 'P' logo on the stem. Did I buy a fake Pioneer?
