I am currently enjoying my lion head meerschaum pipe. It arrived through the mail in just two days, from MI to NY. It arrived in pristine condition.\nThe first thing that I did was to test the quality of the meerschaum. I rubbed my moist fingertip inside the bowl and it came out bone dry. After smoking seven bowls, it has already started to color. It is now a subtle yellow with shades of flamingo pink on the rim of the bowl. Just marvelous!!! I love this meer! \nOh, and let's not forget about the actual pipe. The carvings are exquisite! The picture on the website did not give it justice. The pipe is just plain beautiful. My thanks to AND Meerschaum. Great products and great customer service!!!
I have bought meerschaums before at much higher prices. The prices here are so much cheaper than competitors that I was skeptical at first but the pipe I have received of perfectly fine after several smokes. I was informed that the prices will go up soon, so I will stock up a few.
