Haha yes recent acquisition. As to the gauntlet that had to be completed to acquire this pipe, it was more in line with an out of shape Pheidippides taking two years to make it to Athens 😂
This has been an increasing problem for me as well, to the point I would rather suffer in the southern sauna without a breeze if it meant I could enjoy a pipe without aggregation.
it’s a very well put together flake. Perfect moisture content out of the tin. No artificial taste, yet still immensely rich with your classic burley flavors. For me it’s a subtle spiciness I pick up that I can’t get enough of as well.
I have never owned a meer. After coming across several of these “meer challenge” posts where a smoker smokes it consistently for a month to see what type of color it forms, I have begun looking for one.
