ROYAL SULTAN MEERSCHAUM
BEAUTIFUL SULTAN HEAD CAO MEERSCHAUMWITH CASETHIS PIPE IS 10 INCHES BY 4 LOTS OF MEERSCHAUMCano A. Ozgener, a Turkish native with a Master's Degree in mechanical engineering, happened across some imperfect meerschaum pipes in his late twenties. Unsatisfied with the quality, he decided to improve them in his spare time. He changed the stemwork, made mod...ifications to the engineering, and began to build relationships with some of the most prominent Turkish carvers to improve the overall quality of the pieces. Soon B&M tobacconists caught on. They'd never seen such quality in a Turkish-made meerschaum pipe on the U.S. market. It changed everything.
As Cano's brand, CAO Meerschaum, gained popularity, so did the meerschaum pipe. The movement continued to grow, not only as a direct result of Cano's eye for quality and technical expertise, but largely because of the work of one extremely talented Turkish artisan: Ismet Bekler. Maintaining a high production and a strict adherence to quality, Ismet's work quickly became some of the most sought after on the market. Be it an intricately adorned classic shape or an evocative figural piece, Bekler excelled at every aspect of the meerschaum pipe. His attention to differing line weights to create contrast and dimension, his understanding of real textures and how they translate onto the porous mineral, his meticulous execution of detail in the eyes and faces of his figurals... this perfection set the precedent for what we view as quality meerschaum today.
Hand Carved Sultan Head Meerschaum Pipe - This meerschaum pipe is Hand Carved from 100% Solid Block Meerschaum imported directly from central Turkey. Once carved it is soaked in beeswax so that it will color over time, after being smoked. The stem is made of a special Amberoid Acrylic for good looks and long lasting durability. Each meerschaum pipe we sell is hand carved so no two pipes are exactly the same.
