I'd smoke that beautiful meerschaum at least once.

Looking at that meer makes me wonder how they drill the airway on something like that.

I can't tell from the photo, but I've seen some like that and it's actually three pieces. I wonder if the bowl fits into that large ring before the section with the Pegasus.

I’ve seen those too, but forgot about them. You’re probably right.

Looking at that meer makes me wonder how they drill the airway on something like that.

Looks like a long horizontal drill for the shank and a 45° drill for the chamber and bottom of the chamber draft hole.

I like the idea of having one or two ceremonial pipes for special occasions only, but that are still fine smokers. I smoke my whole stable, the whole rotation, but the idea still has appeal. I guess a few of my pipes have sort of slid into that role without my deciding, but to my mind, everything gets smoked in turn.

I don't know how you are going to smoke something that gorgeous.

that's the plan. Maybe when there is something to celebrate. Now is time to do some justification math.... if I use it when I have something to celebrate and normally I'd buy an 80-100 bottle of something nice then it will only have to have 15-16 things before it pays for itself.

oh yes. But it's not a lunting pipe.

 

[anotherbob]

Wow! Good for you! I saw that for sale too and wondered if it would sell. That is certainly a beautiful display piece.

the picture does not do it justice.

That's Beautiful!!!!

The Rattray's is awesome especially for flakes and coins.

 

[brian64]

That is really an impressive meer carving!

 

[anotherbob]

the meer is perfect for a sit down and contemplate life kind of smoke. The Rattray's is great for flakes and coins. But I am happy to report that the meer doesn't sacrifice smoking quality for aesthetics. Just thought I'd let you guys know. And the chamber is quite deceptive in how much it holds.

 

[dochowl]

Oh my!! that's quite a pipe. Definitely a smoker.

 

[mso489]

That's spectacular, advanced carving on that one.

That's spectacular, advanced carving on that one.

yeah it is great to look at when you need a little emotional boost. The detail on it's incredible. When you smoke it you know that so much work and attention went into it, to a point you can meditate on the wonders of civilization and society leading to a person making something that beautiful. You know like all good art.

Takes your mind to the MSO Zone.
