Meerschaum..A blast from the past!

Ran across this yesterday. I used to smoke 20 cigarettes a day, then turned to a pipe when it was established the big C was less likely to hit you smoking a pipe, this was a present from my wife at the time and then, a very expensive one too...after that I only smoked cigars when they ultimately condemned the pipe...finally, tobacco itself was condemned, so I stopped dead...not had one now for more years than there are pebbles on the beach(g)
