more product details
White Elephant is known as a solid manufacturer of pipe filters and pipe cleaners from Ettenstatt, Franconia, founded by Robert Maderholz. In Germany, White Elephant is the sole producer of pipe cleaners. There are only 3 manufacturers in all of Europe.
However, the company's roots lie in pipe making. Robert Maderholz produced pipes from 1945 to 1984. Later they specialized in filters and over the years also in cleaners.
With the help of the Kopp company, pipes were added to the range again and, in 2023, pipe tobacco.
The pipe is named after a volcano in Ethiopia. At its center lies an active lava lake; the surrounding area is gray, rocky, and resembles a lunar landscape.
The Erta Ale features a graphite insert. This insert is fireproof, flavorless, and produces little moisture. It also heats up and cools down slowly. The insert is easy to clean, and no break-in period is necessary.
The pipe itself is made of Central American ash wood with a matching colored mouthpiece.
