There are a lot of Marzi and Remy tobacco jars out there they are cool because they have a humidification cylinder built into the lid.
The S.T DuPont is a ligne 1 BS
So not a pipe lighter and no good in the wind just cool imho.

I haven't really looked into meers carefully, and that's why I thought they smoke cooler, like a clay pipe. I started out with briars, and then got myself a couple of cobs. I think I'll stick to what to I know for the time being. Thanks
I usually only get about three hours of sleep per day. The majority of my time awake I'm smoking.
I have a friend in Berlin, if I can't find them online, I'll have her look it up for me. They are beautiful! And the Dupont, too!
I've got several of them and other than weight or hand feel, they don't smoke much differently than briar.
I'm mostly retired and therefore have time to smoke when I wish. My morning smoke is my favorite of the day. For the past year and more, that smoke happens in an Altinay Meer. I almost always smoke a reasonably mild, sweet straight Virginia such as Vauen No 14, Sir John's Flake Virginia, Capstan Gold, Weesex Gold Virginia Flake or MB HH Pure Virginia. I almost always accompany that smoke with coffee or Earl Gray tea. That first smoke is such an ingrained and enjoyable part of my daily routine, you probably wouldn't want to be around me were I deprived of that pleasure for some reason.
If you didn't puff like a freaking freight train, your Meers might not get so hot. LOL
Thanks for the reply and the recommendations on the Virginias. I am not experienced enough to start smoking Virginias, I think. I still draw too much when I smoke, and I have to tame my cadence as well. I think that Virginias will pair well with tea, maybe even a maltier brew like Assam.
Even wearing an asbestos glove the pipe gets stupid hot.
The way to get experienced is to smoke them. It really isn't that big of a deal. Presently, you're depriving yourself of the most enjoyable genre of pipe blends made. Jump in and get your feet wet.
I smoke several Meers and have zero issue with any of them smoking hot. Cake builds in Meers just like it does in briar pipes.
I burnt my fingers more when I started smoking briar pipes than with meers now, because of better technique.
Being retired, the morning cup of coffee and a pipe is my favorite part of the day. The smokiness of the pipe mixed with the dark roast flavor of the coffee is a wonderful way to start a day. When I was working I didn't have my pipe until the evening when I could set back and relax.
Once you finish a bowl, how do you clean it? I will give it another shot and maybe the stem won't piss me off like it does now.
Here is a pick of my IMP with Silver.
I generally have my first cup of coffee on the backyard porch at the bar, my feet propped up, and a nice pipe in my hand. Mornings were made for waking up easy.
@Chasing Embers do you live on pipeweed?
I top up the nicotine level while shaving and then making up breakfast.
Small pipes can be harder to keep lit. For a quick smoke I would use a regular pipe but only fill it half way.
@Andim AND, adding on to what Searock said, you could just fill a regular pipe, smoke what you want, and just come back to it later, because tabac sitting in the pipe for a long period of time, especially overnight changes, and you might find you like the difference.

Your IMP is gorgeous.
I wipe my meers out with a paper towel, after every smoke. A layer of cake does nothing for a meer and some people say it is detrimental. If a cake starts to build, I dampen the paper towel and wipe it out.
That's me - I'm sure there will be those who avidly disagree, and as long as they don't tell me I'm stupid, I won't respond in kind
Weekend mornings, I get up early to enjoy some quiet time alone with a pipe and bottomless cup of coffee.
I read the forum and a book while watching the critters and neighborhood come to life. Sometimes I just contemplate life.
Typically, I enjoy a vanilla based tobacco first (1-Q, Arrowhead, Vanilla Roll Cake), but lately it's been burley (Cube Cut or Half and Half).
