Once again it’s time to celebrate The White Goddess.

Formally it’s sepiolite, or magnesium silicate, but meerschaum just sounds better.

Smoke only meerschaum pipes all month, buy a meerschaum pipe, or just dust off a meer in your fleet that doesn’t get enough love.

Or don’t, it’s up to you.

This is the Altinay I purchased about a month ago. Been smoking it twice per day every day. It is coloring very nicely. Love this pipe. I actually find this to be slightly superior to the IMP. I also have found smoking Meerchaum pipes all day are easier on your tongue.

PAD for me tends to be dormant for long stretches and then flares up. The recent (and perhaps still ongoing) exacerbation resulted in these 4 Altinays:

Next is a Baki I've had for several years:

And finally a Tekin in front and a no name behind it:
