My First Meer

[marlow-se]

I do actually have an estate Peterson african meer but this is my first new turkish meer. I have decided to ignore all the stuff you read about not touching it for the first however many bowls and rewaxing periodically. Just going to smoke it and enjoy it.

I had been considering buying a meer and I just sold a bunch of pipes to smokingpipes.eu so I had a little extra money and this one spoke to me when I was surfing around the different websites.

Beautiful pipe.

Good looking pipe.

Great looking pipe and I think you’re going about it perfectly! Great quality pipe and not faffing about with white cotton gloves and waxing it every other smoke - it’s a pipe! Smoke it and good health to ya!

Many of us do and they color just fine. Though not a fan of Altinay, that is a fine example.

I concur

Very nice love my meers!

I like the look of the rusticated meers. And I think the coloring is fun to watch on those as well.

Guess that's next on my Meer list....

Nice Pipe! And a great company.

Great pipe! I love Dublins, especially bent, and Altinay Meerschaums.

I was lucky enough to watch Bremen Pipe Smoker on YouTube to find out about meerschaum before I bought one so I never owned one with fear of the material. For example, I smoke mine outside when it is lower than -20C. Today I filled my Andreas Bauer meerschaum with Haunted Bookshop and did yard work.

In fact, I’m still smoking the same pipe and this is the third time I’ve filled it. My second bowl was Burley Flake #3, and now I’m onto some Mr. B’s English Mix ( Sutliff Medium English). I have been able to enjoy each blend without any kind of ghosting or flavour overlap from one bowl to the next. I smoke anything I want to in this pipe including heavy aromatics.

When I leave home for a day or more I usually just take a meerschaum and a few different blends and smoke the same pipe over and over.

I doubt I will ever wax any of mine.

Enjoy!

Thanks everybody!

I have learned through the years with briar that overthinking and overdoing things takes away from the enjoyment of pipe smoking (sounds so obvious). And being afraid to touch the pipe sounds sort of like a distilled version of that problem.

Whole-heartedly agree with the above. Buy it, smoke it, enjoy it. There's plenty of wax in the pores at production. I've never fussed about with a meer and they all age/smoke/look great!

Great looking pipe. Smoke it like any other pipe and enjoy, and may it bring you many happy smokes!

That’s an excellent pipe! I love meers … meers are all I smoke
