Kiko Rusticated Prince African Block Meerschaum Estate Pipe, Other Estates
Out of stock
Description
Kiko was a brand of pipes produced by the Kilimanjaro Pipe Company, a pipe company based in what is now Tanganyika in the United Republic of Tanzania. Kiko pipes were made from what is commonly known as African meerschaum, a denser variety of the mineral than its Turkish counterpart. Unfortunately, the last African meerschaum pipes were produced many decades ago, as the material is no longer mined. This makes such pipes quite rare to come by.
It’s not every day that you come across a meerschaum prince shape. It’s even rarer that the meerschaum in question happens to be of the African variety. Yet here we are, with a supremely elegant rendition of the traditional Anglo-French shape, in a rather different medium to the norm.
The condition is very good. Minor finish fading on the rim.
