IMP 3/4 Bent Meerschaum Apple Estate Pipe

This patriotic little sparkplug of a meer comes from perhaps the best manufacturer of meerschaum pipes today: IMP. One of the great things about IMP meers is the traditional mortise and tenon junction use. Most Turkish meerschaums have a threaded mortise sleeve and a tiny plastic tenon. These aren't the most durable or well engineered junctions, and IMP, recognizing the smoker's desire for more robust construction and increased airflow, catered their pipes to this preference. When paired with premium block meerschaum, the combination is magical. This pipe is just starting to color on the shank, but hasn't been smoked much. It should be noted that there is a minor cosmetic crack on the shank. Because IMP sleeved the mortise with delrin, we do not think this will be an issue. The pipe also comes with a fitted case.
