    Meerschaum Fairies?

    So I posted a thread a while back about how my lattice meerschaum cracked and they replaced it... and then the second one cracked. I chalked it up to a combination of user error and possible manufacturer defect. Anyway, today I pulled the pipe out to show my father how badly it had cracked...

    Greetings

    This forum came up a few times on a google search for a question about over smoking my briarwood pipe. Figured I’d make an account and join the fun. To rest the briarwood I’ve jumped back to my meerschaum pipe for this new bag of tobacco. It’s not drilled properly, so it wastes a fair bit of...
