Made of sepiolite, a light and porous mineral, these pipes offer a cool, dry and aromatic smoke.

A bit of history: Meerschaum, also known as "meerschaum", is a hydrated magnesium phyllosilicate that owes its name to the fact that it was found floating on the waters of the Black Sea, so much so that it was once believed to be solidified sea foam.

Around 1870, Vienna became the center of meerschaum pipe production, with over two hundred active companies. The term "Vienna meerschaum" became synonymous with high-quality meerschaum pipes.

The first documented use of meerschaum for pipe making dates back to 1723.

The Hungarian Baron Andrássy, returning from a trip to Turkey, brought two pieces of meerschaum with him and entrusted them to his shoemaker, Karl Kovacs, a skilled carver.

Kovacs made a pipe for the baron, realizing the potential of the porous material.

Kovacs' idea was an immediate success, and soon the shoemaker devoted himself almost exclusively to the production of meerschaum pipes, appreciated for their ability to absorb humidity and tar, ensuring a fresh and aromatic smoke.

Why choose a meerschaum pipe?

Neutral Smoke: Meerschaum does not alter the flavor of tobacco, allowing you to fully appreciate its aroma.

Cool and Dry Smoke: The porosity of the material absorbs humidity, ensuring a comfortable smoke.

Elegance and Refinement: Meerschaum pipes are often hand-carved with elaborate decorations, true works of art.

Lightness: Sepiolite is a light material, which makes the pipe comfortable to hold in the mouth.

Evolution over Time: With use, the meerschaum pipe develops a colored patina that makes it even more precious.
