@ashdigger Ian Walker is very good when it comes to silver banding and anything involving antique meerschaum.

Why was a meer near concrete?

we are waiting for the punchline embers!

 

[wyfbane]

Sorry about your meer. That is a horror I have yet to experience. Hope I never do.

It will be awesome if it it can be repaired.

No punchline. I wouldn't dare smoke a meer over concrete.

He’d definitely be my go to.

 

[cshubhra]

So sorry ? to hear!

 

[tschiraldi]

Wow. Sorry for your loss.

Well, that sucks. On the bright side, after repairs, you’ll have a pipe with some nice silver work and a story to go along with it.

I was removing the solar cover from my pool. I was clenching the pipe while leaning over and I'm not sure quite how I managed to drop the pipe from my mouth.

That really sucks! But at least you can smoke that new Yanik while you're waiting for that one to get repaired.

 

[kcghost]

Well, they can repair broken briar pipes so I'm sure they can fix a broken meer.

Northern Briars for sure. None of my pipes go to Ric anymore

Ric is now handling the retail end. All Briarville repairs are now being done by Rich. He is a wizard with meerschaum and has expertly repaired at least half a dozen meers for me.

Well some people insist you don't have to be that careful with meer. I have to admit part of me is glad to see proof that yes you should be more careful with meer then briar. It's almost as if the pipe Gods saw our discussion of meer lined bowls and felt a need to chime in. That said to the OP ouch man at least it wasn't a baby.

My one meer I'll smoke over concrete but it's a churchwarden meaning it's not that hard to catch it before it hits the ground (as I've done twice), and I can catch a long chefs knife without injury that's been dropped by me or someone else as I've demonstrated on numerous occasions.

This one will wait until you're asleep and then bite you in the eye.

Christian Wolfsteiner makes very organic pieces. I've been debating one for a while.

I wonder if it’s being pressed and not block meerschaum made it more susceptible to breaking.
