Possessing a pleasingly fulsome form, this over-sized meerschaum acorn holds that same sort of relaxed feeling when cradled in hand as you find in, say, a brandy glass. It also has the distinct advantage of, as with any object held in such a manner (but especially a smoking pipe), lending one an air of thoughtfulness and, perhaps more importantly, an illusion of paying attention to whoever is droning tirelessly on in one's presence.
