    FS: Cased Altinok “Globe” Meerschaum 12/5/24

    Hello Friends! This Altinok “Globe” meerschaum has a good draw, blue stem (obviously). It's 2.4 oz (4.7 oz cased). Nice coloring, nice block. Used but not abused, it's probably around 15 years old. At age 71, I’ve decided to thin the herd a bit more. Shipping to US addresses only. $85...

    What was your first blend and is it part of your current rotation?

    Borkum Riff, and no. Followed by Balkan Sobranie in the little white tin, and also no. This was 1969 or 1970.

    I had mixed feelings about the movie. I live in the Berkshires where Arlo is kind of like a living patron saint.

    Newbie question here, but do Meers retain value?

    In my experience, pipes crafted by Baki and Bekler, and maybe Tekin and IMP, as well as very fancy and interesting carvings, hold decent market value. Otherwise, it depends on many factors. Generally, I would not consider most meerschaums as investments.

    School Me On Meerschaum

    I’ve been smoking and collecting meers since the late 60’s … so what can I add to this thread?

    Favorite Holiday Blends?

    I've been smoking Peretti's Thanksgiving Day for years ... and I will probably continue. Other than that, no special holiday blends, other than the ones sent to me by my Secret Santa!

    Do You Associate Pipe Smoking with a Sense of Spirituality?

    An interesting thread. For me, meditation, which might become a form of spirituality. Occasional contemplation. Often appreciation.
