还有摇头兄特别关注 “compressed” meerschaum."
here is the story…...[size=1.6em]"……..According to the story that has circulated for centuries among Occidental pipemakers, in 1723 Karl Kowates carved the first meerschaum pipe for Count Andrassy who had been presented with two raw meerschaum blocks before his return from a diplomatic mission to the Ottoman Court in Turkey. Walter Morgenroth states in an article, “The end of a legend: Meerschaum pipe production in the 17th and 18th centuries,” that the Turks had been smoking meerschaum pipes for seventy-five to a hundred years before Kowates. Before this time, meerschaum pipes were exported from Turkey to the Balkans and then marketed elsewhere. About 1750, production of meerschaum pipes started in Ruhla (Thuringia) and Lemgo (Westphalia). Initially rough-cut blanks were imported from Turkey and finished off in Germany. In the first half of the 18th century, blocks of raw meerschaum were also imported in small quantities. The large amount of meerschaum chip and dust waste resulting from meerschaum carving led to the development of “compressed” meerschaum."----------Tetsuji Kan
