    You can resize them in photobucket, if that's what you use. I go at 640 pixels.

    If you're using sites like flikr.com or photobucket, you may want to make sure your settings for the pic are set to public.

    When you click img button and the img box appears, clear that box before you paste your link. Also I use the direct link, not img link from photobucket.

    It worked, but it's pretty small so can't really see. Also, I would use imgur.com, it's a gazillion times better than photobucket IMO.

    Smoker, What is the little pipe that looks like it is all briar?

    Hi guys i got the meer from the tobacconist i use, he got them from a visit to turkey, unfortunately he has trouble getting them now. I have asked if he could get smooth bent meers apple shaped and so on but even to get them he struggles. So like the rest of us i have to traul the web where they are more abundant. The store i use is called Gauntleys based in Nottingham UK. they have a good range of tobaccos in packs, tins and loose. I often try mixing the loose blends to match my taste with the help of the store manager, who is very helpful. They also ship stuff out so look em up and see what you think. Please note this is not a promotional pitch just a sharing of info for fellow like minded pipers.

    Sorry about they delay in helping with the posts and the photos. As I said in another thread, I have been super busy and wasn't around for the last few days.

    Just in case you haven't figured it out, and it seems that you have; when posting the photo links from off site picture hosting sites (i.e. PhotoBucket, Flikr, etc.) do not use the IMG tab that is in the toolbar of the posts here at PM.com. just paste the link as is from those sites.

    Looks like a nice collection. Smooth meerschaums are nice I have to say. So if you can find one grab it.

    If at first you don't succeed you are running about average.

    cburke i can't remember where the wyse came from what i do know is i have had it a long time it does need some work doing to it though maybe when i'm confident enough i'll sort it out. The meer is how it came the burnt look is part of the design. When i saw it i liked it so i got it.
