I was recently gifted the below meerschaum pipe by my mother-in-law, who picked it up for me at an estate sale. If you look at the shank in the first picture you'll see a crack. The crack actually runs all of the way around the pipe. I suspect it was previously dropped and repaired.

I was curious if anyone knew if this would still be smokeable or if it's destined to be a display piece?
