This article on Meerschaum pipes from the Pipe and Tobacco Information Service (September 1974) doesn't say anything about smoking outdoors vs. indoors but has some useful info on care of sameI 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?
Love this blend, and luckily I have quite a bit set back with age on it.Getting more, or not?

Try eBay and other like sources. Eventually, one will turn up because a few already have.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.
After reading that now I’m hungryRelaxing after a wonderful salad, chili and baked potato dinner with a slice of double chocolate cake for dessert on this off-diet day. I've about a quarter of a bowl left of year 2013 Capstan Blue in a 2015 Ryan Alden quarter bend burgundy sandblasted Queen of Hearts freehand with a black acrylic saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
