I purchased my first meerschaum a few weeks ago and now I'm hooked. Talking with altinok meerschaum pipes about a custom order and also looking at one of their in stock pipes. It's meerschaum PAD fill blown.
I love meerschaum as well. In 2012 we had a forum pipe. It said PM 2012 on the side of the shank. I had them put MOD on the other side(since I am a mod).

Unfortunately you have contracted Meerschaum Acquisition Disorder, otherwise known as MADness. This is a treatable condition; however, it is not curable. I suggest that you contact condorlover1 and start a support group.
I only have 2 meers, a no name and a Pete African and I enjoy them both. I want another but haven't found the one that just grabs me yet. Enjoy yours as they are great pipes.
I would be very careful as meerschaums become quite addictive over time. You buy one, then another, then your realize that you must pick up another one as it is so unique. Before you know it you wind up like poor old Conderlover1 with your whole home packed out with these damned pipes!
