Meerschaum (Lületasi) is a marvelous stone found only in Eskisehir, Turkey. Known under the name of "sea foam" in Europe, it has a very fine porous texture and white to whitish color.
Due to its natural properties, it is an excellent material for tobacco pipes. Each year, millions of these pipes are exported to Europe or purchased by tourists visiting Turkey.
This is a functioning pipe as well as a great home decorative item.
Your Meerschaum pipe is quite fragile and requires more careful handling than other pipes. Handle the pipe lightly to avoid rubbing off the wax and to prevent any dirt or oils that might be on your fingers from discoloring the pipe. Some smokers prefer to handle a Meerschaum only by the stem. Of course, you should always take care not to drop your Meerschaum on a hard surface.

The calabash is a gourd similar to a squash, grown specifically for use in pipes. The shape is determined as the gourd grows by placing small blocks under the stem, forcing it into a gentle curve. The mature gourd is cut and dried, then fitted with a cork gasket to receive a Meerschaum bowl. The finished pipe offers one of the coolest, driest smokes available.
Caution Do not overly tighten the bit. Most of the leading manufacturers are now using a Teflon fitting to join the bit and shank of high grade Meerschaum pipes, improving their durability. However, excessive tightening can still cause the shank to crack.
Never ream a Meerschaum pipe. After each smoke and after letting the pipe cool, use a paper towel or a Handi Wipe? and gently wipe out any residue left in the bowl. You do not want a meerschaum bowl to build a cake like a briar.
