Barling Pipes |
|
Barling pipes of England, manufacturers of quality pipes since 1812. A very famous old English classic. Traditional English shapes. Each pipe is made from only flawless briar. Barling is also one of the largest manufacturers of Meerschaum pipes. Each meerschaum pipe is cut by hand from a solid natural piece of Somalian Meershaum stone, then carefully selected for the high quality which Barling pipes are renowned. Genuine Block Meershaum dates back to the early pliocene age, a mineral formed from the remains of crustacia over 10 million years ago. Heralded as Natures gift to pipe smokers, acknowledged as the "Queen of Pipes " for the past 200 years, genuine block meershaum pipes have unique qualities, a mineral whose porous molecular structure acts as a natural filter, whose superb heat conducting qualities draw the heat from the tobacco chamber through microscopic capillaries, resulting in a cool dry smoke. White meershaum pipes are fragile and brittle and as such, have been relegated to arm-chair smoking. However Barling meershaum pipes have been calcined to transform the fragile material into a superb, durable pipe consistent with every day use, yet still retaining the unique qualities of Genuine Block Meershaum.
