    Questions on Clay and Meer Pipes...

    Thanks for all the input. I cant do the fire thing unfortunately because it has a military mortise. I like the taste the clay gives the smoke, kind of earthy.

    Hand Me Down Pipes

    Look to be 2 custombilts, although bottom one could be a different brand. I have 3, they smoke great. When you get them, check the markings. If they are marked custom-bilt, they are early custombilts. Those are the most highly prized.
