I just inherited my grandfather’s meerschaum pipe and just wanted to share how lovely I think it is. The case is surprisingly beat up, and I think the stem was replaced in the 1960s.

I forgot to ask, should I take any special precautions before smoking it? It’ll be the first time in 50 years that it’s been used.
Nice carving...and that's great that you have it from your Grandfather.
As for precautions, I don't have any experience with old meers, but there are at least a few on here who do...hopefully they will chime in if there's anything you need to be careful about. I suspect that since it was smoked quite a bit in the past it should be ok to smoke it normally now.
