    Will Meerschaum End one Day?

    On a serious note alot of the turkish artisans I message directly say without the Chinese buying pipes they wouldn't survive. I guess Asians aren't afraid of smoke and revere it. Look at Baki, all his pipes go to aliexpress.

    Will Meerschaum End one Day?

    That's the real problem sir. If this was the 20s all over again American ingenuity, our insatiable appetite for tobacco and elbow grease would have already gave them turks a run for their money with Arizona Meerschaum.

    I just read another article about the American Meerschaum company in New Mexico. Lots of Meerschaum and a climate similar to turkey...

    Why No Virginia Cube Cut Blends?

    Thank you for the learning experience. Definitely neat looking stuff. How do you pack it? Kind of loose or firm?

    I'm stationed here for work for a few weeks. I've found several decent cigar lounges but no pipe or pipe tobacco stores.

    Will Meerschaum End one Day?

    Yeah but it sucks being the generation that loses something. I've already lost pre 86 machine guns, smoking in public, clearly defined genders and now my beloved meerschaums?

    Will Meerschaum End one Day?

    I have a dozen modern really decent ones. And maybe 6 or so nice large antiques for looking at. So in reality I'm set for life but I'm not giving up my P.A.D for nothing...

    Will Meerschaum End one Day?

    Judging from how many eBay meerschaum pipes I have favorited 12 months or so ago that are still available I don't think we'll go through the stock pile any time soon lol

    Will Meerschaum End one Day?

    I have no expertise whatsoever in meerschaum mining but from all the carvers I talk to in eskisehir they all hint at good meerschaum disappearing. But the date predictions vary wildly. I've been told 5 years to 50 years. So I wonder are older meerschaums possibly higher quality then new...
