I have a number of meerschaums. An el cheapo, but still decent smoking, I got of P&C. My father-in-law gave me his old meerschaum, had to clean a LOT of cake out of it and deoxidize the stem and the stem is still loose, but it smokes well. My in-laws also picked me up a fairly basic one in Turkey a few months back. However, the two prides of my collection are a smooth Baki and a leaf design Altinook. After looking at those Storient pipes, I'm thinking I might need to add one to the small collection.

Still would like to know if they scratch easily.
Compare the material to something a laymen would understand ... someone who's never held one before.

I have 3 and love them all, especially a tiny carved pirite (low quality $12 new) but it just holds enuf baccy for a five minute smoke.
EBAY BEWARE: I just bought a "meer with a gold filled band and amber stem" that turned out to be what appeared to be pine coated in some sort of epoxy enamel....seller was oblivious to pipes so I don't believe he was trying to rip me off....." never attribute to malice anything that can be adequetly explained by stupidity !
