I don't see any african meer on smokingpipes.com. Someone must have bought it.

Re: african meerschaum

I've never owned an African meer, but a good friend of mine has one that is a charcoal grayish black. I asked him about it yesterday and he informed me that his has two aggrevating aspects. It softens/mutes the flavors of every genre of tobacco he has smoked in it and it gets very hot no matter how slow he smokes it. He has to sit it down to cool many times during every bowl for fear it may crack due to heat if he does not.
