Surprisingly she came with rum and a pipe (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

meerschaum

'a pipe' is the definition.
(meerschaum is a kind of pipe)

'surprisingly she came with rum' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' is an anagram indicator.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'she'+'came'='shecame'
'shecame' put after 'rum' is 'rumshecame'.
'rumshecame' anagrammed gives 'MEERSCHAUM'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for meerschaum that I've seen before include "It's smoked" , "e.g. Tobacco pipe" , "Type of clay pipe" , "Clay tobacco pipe" , "I'm puffed!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
