Tell me it's a figural of a roaring kodiak bear. Go on.
I hear Alaskan-themed pipes are doing big, competitive business up that way these days.

No. But, check this out. I wrote this a couple years ago and, thanks to you, the Alaskan figural meer I just had made will have a partner soon.

Tim- Super collection. Is the Pete and the one below it with amber stem?
@BarrelProof - you two are gonna hafta pack in an extra pelican case for your two, seven-day Alaskan pipe sets next time you join up on a moose hunt.
Lord help you if you get a big bull and have to do a pipes vs meat weight limit calculation for your charter out. Hopefully you'll have smoked enough that tobacco weight in can be displaced by trophy weight out.
Name the bear figural "Lucky" in my honor and I'll see what I can do to get a SCooSA up that way.

That would be the Whitetrash Goddess.
My only meerschaum, a reverse calabash. Not a design I'd buy again.
Did you read that article I wrote? Lucky is a wildly applicable name for a pipe like this! Let me get to the drawing board and see what I can come up with...
Fortunately the plane belongs to @alaskanpiper. So, if needed, we can make multiple trips. I feel confident speaking for both of us in saying that there's no way in hell we'd leave pipes, tobacco, OR any game meat behind! In fact, we're planning a hunt for later this year and I think it may end up being the initial smoke for this first meer commission. In a world typically governed by ultralight packs and long hikes in/out, we've made it a point to call whiskey, tobacco, and pipes "acceptable pleasantries."
nope March here is winter with rain.
Mostly red around the neck area.
Yes those two are Amber. The swan shape below it has that compressed Amberlite or whatever fancy name that manufacture used.
State College PA in the dead centre of the State (Yeah it's spelled that way Centre county.)
Gosh, I don't know where to start... 
Yeah, for you I guess this is just....March.Gosh, I don't know where to start...
Or if you’re a glass half full type of guy, you’re whole life is meer madness!!!!
Meer madness mean get more meerschaum too right ? I just acquired this beauty . . .

The other 2 I've had for about 40 yrs. and I smoke them mostly.

The only pipe I will smoke this month is a feather-light no-name meer purchased in Turkey in 1986. Not very refined carving, but the stem work is exceptional, and the draw spot on. It provides a good 2 hour smoke.
Currently smoking Condor Plug, well rubbed out.
