All apologies to Fred and other Meer lovers

A while ago I think I may have commented towards a disdain for meerschaums, and stated I would never purchase or own one in my life.
I went to my hometown this week and I was proven wrong. Scanning amongst the local antique dealers, I noticed this in between two rather decrepit specimens. Totally unused, not sure as to age, etc. But by Thoth's balls I knew I had to have it.

I'm surprised I took it given the shape. But I suppose sometimes being ostentatious is allowed. I inducted it into my service with some Dunhill My Mixture 965.

I was in the same camp until I tried one. Congratulations on the change of heart and acquisition.

Congrtats mate, a fine meer, but the results after smoking it were?

 

[punkpiper]

Honestly? The coolest, driest smoke I've had, and the one with the most clean flavours. If it werent for its delicate nature I get the feeling I'd be flogging my briars.

I love meers! Especially for VAs and VaPers. Sometimes the differance from the same blend in a briar is quite profound.

 

[shawn]

Very nice. Even by Thoth's balls standards.

 

[batdemon]

Very nice! Glad to hear you are a convert :clap:

 

[markw4mms]

Apologies accepted! LOL! I'm glad you took the plunge. There is nothing that can compare to the White Goddess!

Very nice meer...great find...congrats! And well to invoke Thoth with the face on that thing. ::

Yep, all it takes is at least one quality smoke and you may find yourself becoming a convert. If you keep it clean and care for it, things will just continue to get better the more you smoke it.

 

[uberam3rica]

How come you said you would never own one?

 

[baronsamedi]

Now you know I'm not kidding when I say, "Nothing smokes like a Meerschaum."

 

[lifeon2]

I have 3 myself they smoke nice.

I guess I gotta get on board and buy one!
