Meerschaums - Post your Pipe - I can't get rid of the Darn Things!!!

[clanobucklin]

Meerschaums. Sigh. I have had a couple over the years. I just recently traded Uncle Arthur for a pipe and gave up my last one. A beautiful vintage "Skull" pipe. Trouble is I can't rid of the damn things. No sooner than I got rid of my last one - I got two more from friends! 1 is an image of someone famous. The other is a fun Bachus pipe with a long stem. Now the funny part is ... I have coveted the Bachus Meer for sometime but either wasn't in funds at the time of the "jonesing" or was off Meerschaums. And well here I am with a lonnng stemmed Bachus Pipe. I would love to see other meer pipes posted...just to see other carvings as well. Meers are cool smoking pipe of fossilized clay - giving probably the purest smoking experience of tobacco. Needless to say while I love 'em...I prefer wood/briar. Anyhoo post a picture guys and gals - here is mine:

love the pipes. I don't own any but not from a lack of trying.

I have yet to get one, I am a fan of the classic shapes.

 

[clanobucklin]

Wow! Beautiful Guys...keep 'em coming! I love the images - some beautiful carving in all of them. That's one thing that meers are known for amazing shapes and images. Here is the Meer Uncle Arthur got from me:

I'd love to get a Yanik meer, but damn they're expensive, lol.

I have two, the one in the foreground is an IMP and the huge one behind it is an Altinok. I'm not a big fan of intricate carvings in my own pipes, but I do like to look at other peoples artwork.

This is my $14 Meerschaum. I got it for $10.99 on Ebay and had to use $3 in parts to fix it. My favorite pipe to smoke and I smoke it almost every day!

Here are mine:

The group photo is so you can have a size reference.

My faves are my Sherlock and Holmes.

They are about a 10 min smoke...

I can't even the tip of my little finger in the bowls.
