Custom Meerschaum

03-23-2010, 05:06 AM

Emailed Best Meeschaums inquiring about custom made pipes, after hearing back from a gent named Deniz that they in fact do, I emailed a drawing of what I had in mind. The reply was the shape and angles of my design would be difficult in meerschaum, the 6" shank and 4" tall bowl would require a very large block (large enough to carve 3 pipes) of meeschaum, but he would send the drawing to the carver for his opinion.

The answer came after a week, the pipe could be made and for 70% of the originally quoted price. The finished size and shape of the foot is up to the carver so the pipe will be stable when sitting, the carver also suggested and egg shaped bowl (something like that of the pipe pictured) 2" - 2 1/2" in diameter. When finished the pipe will have oval shank, Cumberland stem and an acrylic foot, will be ready to ship meer the end of April.

I'm not a pipe smoker, but getting a custom pipe you designed is pretty freaking sweet! Looking forward to seeing it.

The carver felt the bottom plug of the original design, would be troublesome in the long haul, after some discussion we agreed that staying with a true cavalier design wasn’t the best option for a meerschaum pipe of this size. Well here’s the pipe after the changes, the bowl is 4” tall and 2” at its widest, the shank is six inches from heal to stem, overall the pipe is 10” long.

That's awesome...and also giant! I kind of get an idea of how big it is, but something beside it for size reference would be cool. Do you mind asking how much this custom design cost?

Hey Brutus,

The pipe set me back $375.00.

Beautiful pipe! Worth the money, nothing I could afford right now though, haha.
