Do's and Don'ts of Estate Meerschaum Buying

[sablebrush52]

So, to all of you guys who find smoking an estate a gross out because you're putting your mouth where someone else had been before, did you all marry virgins, and did you have your intended examined prior to the wedding, to certify their virginity?

I just know a lot of carvers that make the size pipes I like.

It does have a sibling .

She was before we started dating so no, I didn't marry a virgin.

I am great believer of 'Always try before you buy'. Saves on disappointments later on!

The most on-point example has always been: "Do you require brand new cutlery and glasses/cups from every restaurant at which you eat?" dead people used that fork and that coffee cup...just say'n

I’m sure most will agree there are great estates out there, including meerschaums, but buying a new meerschaum and coloring it on your own, is suppose to part of that journey to enjoy.

So buy a new meerschaum and enjoy the journey.
