My First Meer

[frtimmyd]

Not big but it's a sweet looking pirate. Just couldn't resist.
(I've also decided I need a new camera. All the other pics were too crappy to post.)

Nice, Father! You're gonna love it!

 

[nightmarejones]

That's awesome and I love that stem.I haven't seen one like that before,What is it?

 

[frtimmyd]

Sorry. Should have included the brand with the picture.
It's a Paykoc block Meerschaum with a Lucite stem. Crafted in Turkey.

Nice!

 

[batdemon]

Very sweet, Father! :clap:

 

[baronsamedi]

Cool! Same brand as mine!

 

[hobie1dog]

That's next on my list to get, but I'd like to get a big Churchwarden Meer.

Simply beautiful Father, congratulations mate, enjoy!

Beautiful Meerschaum Father, however you made a big mistake. You are going to find that Meerschaums will become habit-forming. I have over 30 briars and 6 Meers, and smoke my Meers about 90% of the time.

Looks like a winner Pater .

Nice Meer. I love smoking the 3 that I have. :clap:

Thanks for the congrats guys. It's been fun trying it out. The kids think it looks sooooo "epic". The people from my old parish up in Michigan are laughing at me (I once let it out in a sermon that I was a gamer who liked to be a pirate on-line; I've never lived it down).
I love the clean taste of the tobacco smoked in it. Although I made the mistake of letting my wife pick out the free tobacco that Schwab's includes with the purchase of a pipe. She chose "Island Pleasure". Tastes like a Mounds bar. :rofl:

 

[batdemon]

I would think a pirate would enjoy some Island Pleasure :rofl:

I would think a pirate would enjoy some Island Pleasure [:rofl:]

Sure. But my concept of Island Pleasure usually involves Rum!

 

[dimm]

I dunno what it is with bearded guys on meers but it works!

 

[puffin]

I like it! I usually prefer smaller pipes, and this one fits the bill. You will have to keep us informed as the pipe colors.

 

[baronsamedi]

If you're a pirate, smoke some Penzance! :rofl:

 

[uberam3rica]

Congratulations on your first meer! I'm getting my first meer soon. I have a meer-lined pipe though, and it smokes wonderfully. I f you don't have a meer-lined pipe, I suggest you invest in one, they're wonderful.

I got one but about 23 bowls in and a crack formed from the top of the bowl down the side and ended at the stem. Its a shame the shank is starting to show color after sitting now for a month. I found out it is pressed not block, so that's probably why. I didn't read very well.
