Product information "White Elephant Etosha 5"
Our new White Elephant Etosha series is also made from Central American ash wood. The structure of the wood is fascinating – over time, the pipe slowly darkens and develops a striking patina.
The Etosha series features an acrylic mouthpiece in a Cumberland design.
The highlight, however, is our specially developed graphite insert, made from highly compressed carbon and baked at extreme temperatures in a blast furnace. This insert offers a range of advantages:
- It is heat-resistant and easy to clean.
- The formation of a carbon layer is completely eliminated.
- Graphite is flavor-neutral – due to its high density, it does not absorb any aromas.
- No residual flavors remain, allowing you to sample different tobaccos in quick succession without the usual resting periods.
A perfect smoking instrument for beginners, tobacco testers, and heavy users.

1945 to 1984 Robert Maderholz produced briar pipes. His son Michael developed the first automatons for filter production in 1984. Up to now White Elephant is the only filter with highly absorbent Meerschaum granulate worldwide. Meerschaum is a magnesium silicate from the mineral group of the sepiolites, the porose structure is able to absorb large amounts of moisture like a sponge.
The Meerschaum used to be imported from Tansania (now only Meerschaum of the highest quality from Eskisehir, Turkey is used), so the name ‘White Elephant’ was found very fast.
Later active charcoal filters were added to the portfolio and 1999 the production of pipe cleaners started.
Having no heirs, Michael Maderholz sold the company to Kopp Filters.
After 35 years White Elephant presents itself in a new design. But everything else stays the same. The production facility is still in Ettenstatt, Bavaria and our highest premises are top quality and fair prices. And now in an environmental friendly packaging.
What does Superflow mean?
Less is more. Other producers of charcoal filters surpass each other with higher absorption rates, forgetting one very important factor: tensile strength also increases, leading to an unpleasant smoking experience.
