I picked up a couple of orphaned meerschaums for my collection - well three to be precise with prices ranging from $20 to a high of $68. All the pipes have fine bits and tight stems and with the exception of a cake build up in one or two I think they will clean up nicely and should smoke well when added to my rotation. I will have plenty of time to break them in the week after next! Anyway enjoy as these are absolute beauties.
