hey everyone. just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. my name is jim and im from the upper peninsula of Michigan. I collect meerschaum pipes, sadik yanik more honestly. I also have a small collection of briars ranging from a dunhill to several savinelli. I have taken up smoking pipe as a way to curb my need for cigarettes and it has been helpful. in the process I have fallen in love with the everyday maintenance that comes with pipes. as an artist I have gravitated to meers for their craftsmanship and for the fun of watching them color over time. I hope to meet many new friends here. please add me to your list if you wish. im still new to pipes so I can always use good advice and good fellowship. take care guys
never before seen..its me

Welcome to the forum! Lots of members have come from smoking cigarettes, and lots from the simple pleasures of a well crafted pipe. Diversity is what makes it so interesting around here.
Ask any questions you have, and I'm sure we would all like to see some pictures of your Meers.

Fellow cigarette quitter. Welcome!
I've never smoked a meer, but my local B&M's lead tobacconist has been getting some in and extolling their virtues. Might try to get one around my birthday later in July.

meer', welcome aboard from central N.C. I have fond memories of UP, its wooded sparsely populated Lake Superior shore. The joke about UP folks sitting on the beach when another group can be seen a quarter of a mile away, spreading out their blanket on the otherwise deserted shore, and the first beach party says, "Well, let's leave, it's getting crowded."
Welcome from AZ. You will learn a lot around here. I’m new at 2 years in. Still learning how to smoke properly and discover new tastes.

Greetings. I started smoking pipes part time in 2016 but still smoke cigarettes. Last week, I smoked my last cigarette and now have 3-4 bowls a day. I won't lie, going from 30 cigarettes a day to four pipes a day was rough at first, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now, I look forward to the pipe for the relaxation and ritual of it, not so much the nicotine. I was raised by my grandfather who smoked a pipe and when I sit on my porch (I don't smoke inside) and go through the packing and lighting routine, I'm reminded of sitting in the den with my grandfather watching him do the same to his pipe. Happy memories.
