I heard it’s not safe to smoke a meerschaum outside when cold because the heat can crack the bowl? I have my first and from the looks of it, it’s ok. What’s the truth?

Laurent,
I’m no expert on meerschaum pipes or any pipe for that matter, but my understanding is that once you light the pipe outside and start smoking it , said pipe will warm up gradually and the cold temperature won’t bother it unless it’s something like a cold blast of air or something like that, which would be a shock to it. However, I may be mistaken or dead wrong for that matter, so don’t go by my opinion… But I don’t stand outside directly.Once I take the picture I set in my garage, which is somewhat warmer and out of the wind.

Not far from finishing this bowl of Wilke No. 515 in a smooth dark medium bend 2021 Peterson Heritage Brown POTY 4AB No. 45/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. This was the blend Basil Rathbone smoked. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Awesome info on the blend Rathbone smoked, I did not know that. Also awesome pipe! I know these 4AB were released as pipes of the year but I cant find any available for purchase in the US... they sold out quick, but I'm still looking.

My own Virginias in another stacked Hilson. This pipe has a dramatic cone shaped bowl. I love the way it smokes Virginias.

That's a nice looking tamper. Where did you get it?
Guinness and pipe tobacco go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Guinness goes especially will with Burley and English Blends.

The tamper is from smoking pipes. They have tons of different colors too.
