Turks Head Meerschaum Pipe – XL
A beautiful example of a classic ‘Turk’s Head’ style meerschaum pipe, hand-carved in Turkey with exquisite attention to detail – from his intricately carved beard to his feather-adorned turban, he’s a real head turner!

Fitted with a stunning, amber-coloured, marbled, lucite stem, hand-turned and ornate.

This extra large pipe is heavy in the hand and features an extra deep bowl that holds a generous portion of tobacco (if you prefer a smaller bowl size and don’t like to waste any tobacco we’d recommend going for the Medium Turks Head Meerschaum Pipe).

Presented in a bespoke, made to measure hard case, lined with velvet and fitted with a metal clasp to keep it safe from harm when not in use.

Found only in Turkey and some parts of Northern Africa, meerschaum is a highly sought after material in pipe making, popular for its porous qualities that make for a cool, dry smoke.

As the pipe is used, over time it will darken in colour from a snowy white to shades of caramel, reddish hues and dark mahogany browns making each pipe utterly unique to the smoker.

Approximate dimensions:

Length – 160mm
Bowl depth – 65mm
Bowl diameter – 21mm

PLEASE NOTE: Dimensions are approximate and intended as a guide only. Meerschaum can be fragile, especially when new. Always make sure you let your pipe cool down fully before taking it apart to clean and never bang the bowl on a hard surface when emptying – it will 100% break!
