What Are Meers For?
In my experience Meers are for breaking :( But at $15 I would definitely call that a steal! -

What are You Watching?
I'm making my way through Rawhide! Hell of a show, you've got young Clint Eastwood and Eric Fleming, not to mention a whole host of great side characters. There's even a few pipe smokers that show up throughout the series! I'd recommend it to anyone that enjoys a good western- JPremo

About Parcel Forwarding Services and Tobacco
I've never picked out and used a specific service for shipping goods like that, but one of my bosses in the vape industry used to mark packages and shipping orders with "sample product not for sale/resale" which did make it's way through most customs issues with shipping to countries outside the...- JPremo

What About Hand Feel?
Oh man I used to copyright for similar luxury products and "hand feel" was one of my favorite bullshit descriptors to throw in there and fill out a listing. Is it heavy? Is it smooth? Is it easy to grip? Is it cool metal? Is it soft or hard? Literally any one of these things could fit the... -
Does Perique Add Anything Other Than Spice?
I've never actually had a blend from D&R but that seems like a fine one to try, now to wait for it to be in stock in less than a 16oz bag, thanks for the suggestion!- JPremo

Does Perique Add Anything Other Than Spice?
Man I never believed that whole "spicy" descriptor until I tried a heavy perique blend and I gotta say it works with some things but definitely not a regular smoker for me! I haven't come across this fruity/figgy version though, anybody have a source for a good blend of it?- JPremo

How Long Does Tobacco Stay Fresh
Welp I live in the Desert so I get about 3 months out of an opened tin. Of course I put most of it into Jars for longer term storage, once it's in a jar all you need is some Boveda packets and your Tobacco will last as long as you want it to!- JPremo

Churchwardens
See I love the idea of a churchwarden pipe but for the price of those Auenlands, and they are tempting, but at that level I'd rather spend 100 more or so and have a custom job. Plus I'd really like a convertible one with two stems so I can use it as a normal pipe, and those HCA ones just don't... -

McClelland Mini Reviews
Great review man! Nice and succinct flavor descriptions, I hate reading tobacco reviews and seeing 10+ flavor descriptors thrown at a tobacco blend because the author just keeps throwing words at it to try and sound intelligent.- JPremo

Got a Strange Meerschaum, Any Ideas on ID?
So looking at the joint between the two spheres I don't think this was carved from one piece given the gaps. Or if it was, it has since been broken and repaired as indicated by discoloration around the connections.- JPremo

Best Pipe/Drink Combo.
Cogniac or Diplomatico Reserva with Banane Du Bresil on the rocks, or a Gin Mule. Both go great in the hot tub with a nice pipe!- JPremo

Got a Strange Meerschaum, Any Ideas on ID?
Fascinating! That's almost half the weight. Is one of those block or pressed meerschaum? I wonder if pressed is lighter than block....... never really thought about that.- JPremo

What's the Deal with Bowl Coatings?
I think, as many have stated, the coating is so you don't have to worry about the possibility of a burnout while you're getting your carbon layers built up to form a proper cake. Do you need a coating? Not really, it's more of an added protection and the risk of burnout is rare even without...- JPremo

Got a Strange Meerschaum, Any Ideas on ID?
Not particularly, it's white in the spots where it's chipped and if I do the sticky test on the inside of the bowl it is a bit tacky, but nowhere near as much as my carved meer. The other thing I should say is that it's much heavier than that carved meer which is almost identical in size if not...- JPremo

Got a Strange Meerschaum, Any Ideas on ID?
Hey all, I wasn't shopping for this pipe but it happened to be in a lot that I got and I'm a bit curious about it since there's no markings to my eye. I've posted an album at the bottom with every angle. I've never seen a pipe in this style/shape before so any info on possible dating or (long...- JPremo

When Peterson's Is On Their Game, You Get This
I just got my first Peterson a few weeks ago and I have a love/hate relationship with it. It took a few tries to get the pipe shape I wanted without any flaws on it, which was a bit annoying, but the good folks at SP took care of everything. I love the design, the size, the shape, the fact...
