The time has come for March Meerschaum Madness. As we've reached the eve of this month-long event.
For those unaware of this, the idea is for those that have one or two meerschaum pipes in their collection, and rarely smoke them, to pull them off the rack and enjoy them. It's an opportunity to explore what a meerschaum pipe can really offer to the pipe smoker.
For those of us that smoke meerschaum pipes regularly and have multiple pipes in your collection, the idea is to smoke those few meerschaum pipes that never really make it into your regular rotation. It's a good way to explore a neglected pipe and see what it can offer you and possibly make its way into the rotation.
For those that don't own a meerschaum pipe it's an opportunity to maybe venture into buying one and exploring a new style of pipe and see what it can offer you.
I went from only having 1 meerschaum to building up my collection to 23. I've got pipes from a variety of makers and companies, and in all different styles. The problem I have is that with so many meerschaums it's hard to smoke them all, and there are several that rarely get smoked. This makes it hard to color them, but I'm working on it.
Post pics of your pipes and your experiences here and enjoy those Meerschaums!!!
