Hi,
I posted this in the Normal threads, but wanted to also post it here. My first and only Meerchaum pipe. I only smoke filtered pipes. It's a 9mm drilled Meerschaum, which is pretty rare for AKB. I bought it during the 15% off July 4th sale. It's a decent size with a fairly large bowl. I find it well made with draft hole centered, no cosmetic defects and the tenon in the mortise fits White Elephant 9mm charcoal filters well. Vauens 9mm filter is a little thinner and moves around a bit, when drawing hard, but this should stop once the filter expands. I still have other new briar pipes I plan to break in first. I don't smoke often, so maybe in a couple of months.
