    Unusual Meerschaum

    I would expect in the neighborhood of $150 on Ebay ... but you never know!

    Meerschaum Pipe in Sunlight

    My guess would be no degradation - but possibly some variation in the coloring, as the meer has a wax coating. Examine the pipe. If it looks good to you, then I'd say no problem.

    House of Calabash On Line

    In my opinion, his blends are awesome good, and Mr. Books is a very interesting fellow to talk tobacco with.

    Has anyone bought from them...therightpipe...?

    I've had excellent experiences buying meers from Deniz Ural, located in USA; and from Sinan Altinok, located in Turkey. These are my two favorite meerschaum dealers.

    SMS Meerschaum

    In my opinion, yes, SMS is precisely that - a good, midrange meerschaum.

    Altinok Pipes

    I only collect and smoke Meerschaums and I give Altinok (and Baki) thumbs up! I own five Baki's and several pipes purchased from Altinok - all excellent. By the way, Mr.Baki is a carver and Mr.Altinok is a dealer, selling pipes created by various carvers.

    Question on Meerschaum "Burnout"

    It's true that repeated use of a pipe cleaner can eventually create a hole in the meerschaum, if the sharp end of the pipe cleaner digs into the pipe. So, when using a pipe cleaner on a meer, I watch what I'm doing, and stop short of contact with the bowl. I know this from experience :-(

    Zappa Interview Excerpt

    Big lifelong fan of FZ. I also had prostate cancer, but got it diagnosed before it spread too far. It was intermediate stage and moderately aggressive. If I didn't get the PSA test, it might have been a very sad story for me.

    Dulcimers and ukuleles. Also meerschaum pipes only. Though now I mostly keep the meers that I actively smoke, with a few exceptions of course!

    P&C Customer Appreciation Day

    I ordered 4oz of Mazatec a few weeks ago, and also took advantage of the "buy two get one free" offer on H&H 8oz tins. One of my tins was back ordered and I got free shipping, which was calculated on the retail price of the order, before the discount. So, I paid $83 and change, still got free...
