    It smells really good! I'm going to post a YouTube review once I get some work done.

    First Drug Store Aromatic

    I just got three codger blends. SWR aromatic, Paladin Black Cherry, and Half&Half. The SWR was too dry to smoke, and the gentleman behind the counter said that Paladin flies off the shelf. So I just had my first bowl of Paladin. It's not half bad! So what are the "good" aromatics? Does anyone...

    I hope you guys can get the turd out of there. And I'm hoping we can do the same.

    School me on Tobacco Flavorings

    5 dollars in the 70s was a premier steak dinner and bottle of wine. I'd go hunting for that if I was a kid.

    First Briar -- Buy New or Estate?

    I typically see estate pipes as a cheap way to get into expensive briars. But for less than the cost of an estate you will find a new pipe that fits you nicely. As long as you don't chooch too hard, the absence of cake won't be an issue with the pre-carbonized bowls. This judgement is only from...

    Pipe Smoking and Mental Health

    Picking up the pipe eased my transition out of alcohol and funny grass consumption. It motivated me to start writing and reading old books as well as a fascination with Irish culture. Compared to sloth and gluttony, the way of the pipe has helped me realize a more productive and balanced version...

    Do I Need a Little Break?

    Burning my tongue on tea or supper has infrequently made my evening smokes less enjoyable. The quality of the experience returns alongside the healing of my tongue.

    Not sure if anyone is following this thread but... Meerstore stopped responding as anticipated on Whatsapp. My meermarket order came in. Is the burning wax taste of a fresh meer normal or am I smoking too hot? I do like to smoke em hot but not enough to bite me or burn briar. Any input is...

    Do You have a Pipe You can’t Bring Yourself to Smoke?

    Maybe if I had a $3k Dunhill. But I only buy pipes to smoke at this point.

    Culling the Herd: Anyone Else Feel the Need to do So?

    I wish I saw this before buying a second meer lol. I have a different pipe for my three favorite blends and I find the excess to be too many. However I think some of those carvings are aesthetically valuable.

    To be fair, this shipping information is confusing also. Based on the time it's taken so far I can rule out express.

    I'm glad I ordered "my" pipe from Tekin but I can only imagine that their primary concern is carving and wholesale- not distribution on a consumer level.

    I might just have to get a small block to color while this one dodges missiles on its boat.

    So the website is confusing because there's an email listed but this page suggests they're only available by phone and WhatsApp. I thought the checkout page said it would take 10 days maximum from FedEx. But I can recognize I did not foresee this issue, and could have purchased from a US dealer.
