Just imagine, how the "What Are You Smoking Threads" would look like. Some stuff like "I'm about to finish a bowl of Carter Hall in a Didimauw figural meer. The Jiminks meer is already packed with Director's cut and ready to go..." would be going on all the time. This would bring up a whole new dimension of pairing pipes and tobaccos.

I would dedicate the Embers meer to Penzance.

EDIT: and I don't even smoke Penzance...but if I had an Embers meer I'd have to start.

Which ever way you decide to go I suggest that you provide good pictorial reference of the Julius Caesar portrait you want it to look like or you're more likely to end up with something that looks more like Abdul Abulbul Amir.
Would that be Abdul Abulbul Amir the carpet merchant on the western corner of the suq or Abdul Abulbul Amir the spice merchant on the opposite corner?

So I admit, I’ve a... severe man-crush on Julius Caesar. Now gentlemen, please understand I am a loyal and faithful husband to my beautiful wife, but oh, my dear Julius! ? And he was absolutely brilliant!

When I began studying Roman history a few years ago, I thought I’d not like Julius Gaius Caesar, however I came out absolutely loving the man!

@BROBS, have you ever carved meerschaum, you gifted arteest you?
