I Finally Broke Down And Bought A Meerschaum Pipe

Nice looking pipe.

Side note, I didn’t like cobs until I started dating my sister. The cob really intensified the experience.

I could have sworn your sister had higher standards? cobs too…

I like it, can't quite place it but it seems very familiar.

I know, the whole thing is an embarrassment. I mean, she likes cobs

Looking nice!!

Nice looking pipe. Welcome to the light side.

Having both meers and briars on hand makes for nice choices.

 

[anotherbob]

Nice looking pipe. I have mostly briars as well and have been thinking about picking up a Meer.

do it. I prefer briar but a meer is a meer and nothing quite like it.

 

[shanez]

Fore!

 

[Searock Fan]

Good choice!

I am still not convinced whether you can ghost a meer. If I remember correctly, @Chasing Embers states that you can ghost a meer. I have been trying to ghost a skull meer with Deer Tongue, having smoked mainly Gentleman Caller in that pipe and I am now on my third tin. Every so often I smoke a Virginia blend in the pipe to test it and still don't taste the ghost, but then I have the palate of a goat, so who knows. Just sayin...

 

[renfield]

I smoke Ennerdale occasionally in my meers and don’t get any ghosting. YMMV.

I suspect that with well sauced Lakeland blends if you consistently smoked them in a meer you could build up a ghost but so far I’ve never crossed that line.

Good looking pipe. I love me some meers. A bit fragile, but a great smoking experience IMO

 

[Garcia]

Congrats on the meer! I recently picked one up too!

Up to 6 smokes on the new meer, each one better than the last. I will post a photo of the pipe exterior when I reach a dozen or so smokes.

You build cake in a Meer, the fluids are obviously absorbed as well. You can most certainly ghost a Meer.

 

[RudyG]

Nice pipe for sure,

I've been thinking about buy a meerschaum also just to see the difference.

I may miss the taste that the briar lends to the smoke.

Hope you enjoy it!

You'll be able to smell them on the outside of the stummel as well.

I've not had that one ghost any pipe. Run some Crooner through it.

For me, it's been around 20 bowls before it really starts to sing. I hate breaking in new meers!

It's worse than breaking in briar.
