This past week I received my Seattle Pipe Club Meerschaum. It’s a truly beautiful pipe. A classic claw and egg shape with a heavily decorated bowl, and best of all our very own Seattle Pipe Club shield. Two stems, and a fitted leather case compliment the pipe.

I will confess that I’ve had difficulty smoking Meerschaum pipes enough to adequately color them, but this is a special Meerschaum, so I shall make an extra effort. Traditionally our December club meeting is a white pipe night, and I’d like to have some nice color on it for the occasion.
