Kiko Tanganyika Block Meerschaum Bent Billiard Tobacco Pipe, Black Rustic Finish For Sale

This is a hard pipe to sell because I love it so much. This is a nice block meerschaum pipe from Tanganyika, which is now the country of Tanzania. By being stamped with Tanganyika it is a piece of history. The territory of Tanganyika only existed from 1916-1961. The white image on the stem is that of an elephant.This pipe is made from high quality meerschaum from the region. This meerschaum is known for its great smoking qualities and its durability which is much greater than Turkish meerschaum. The bowl is very clean and has a nice aged patina. The rustic finish feels great in the hand. The stem is in very good shape and the screw in tenon fits snug and centered correctly. Overall this is a great historical estate pipe that is also a pleasure to smoke.
