One Meerschaum For One Year (11/7/2020)

[brut666]

Mostly curiosity about what it's made of. Most have never seen a pipe, even more have never heard of meerschaum. I've got a few others I bought just to look at, but the skull was bought to smoke.?

And the fact it's bigger than most peoples head. I love it thou and am searching for something similar in the UK now ?

If it helps, it was carved by Kenan Kökbudak.

Great Thread! A fine gesture on the Weez's part, and a noble effort on your part. This will be interesting!..............................

Thanks guys, but I'd like to keep this thread on track. I got a hundred alerts from this thread, that had nothing to do with it. Hahaha

What is your cleaning method going to be for it? Just pipe cleaners after a smoke? I'm getting one in this week, so I'll silently participate alongside.

Yes, probably a pipe cleaner through, then folded up and wipe the bowl with it.

So Kevin, until now you smoked a cob for a year (or almost?) and a briar right? I am just too lazy to find the threads.

Yup! Cob, briar, and now meer.

After being persuaded by my good friend Dave, @weezell I finally gave into the peer pressure.

The pipe arrived today, and wow was I shocked. After talking about meers with weezell for some time, he found the perfect specimen.
I've never smoked a meer before today, and was not expecting the weightlessness of the thing. It's the perfect size, beautifully carved, and just hangs from the jaw with no effort.
What an amazing gift. And having a nice chat on the phone with him, it makes this experience all that much more incredible.

First time I get to smoke a pipe on the porch of our new house. I just can't wait to see how this thing colors over time.

Here's to you Weez!

Good luck on your adventure and enjoy the journey! I've always been a big meer advocate, here's to your next 365!

 

[lukasstrifeson]

All righty! Very nice.

Now, please weigh the pipe now, and again in one year. Meers can gain their weight over time.

Learn something new everyday. Was this the excuse I've been looking for to get another pipe? ?

 

[verporchting]

This is fantastic!!! It’s going to be great to see how it colors and holds up to daily use. Thanks for being such a great sport!

 

[jvnshr]

Yup! Cob, briar, and now meer.

Well, good luck then. Probably a clay pipe next year?

One Cob for One Year :: Pipe Talk

All these recent posts about corn cobs has gotten me excited. So I'm going to try an experiment. I'm taking my brand new Missouri Meerschaum Rob Roy Legend corn cob, and it's going to be the only pipe I smoke for a whole year. I may end up changing the stem at some point, but for now I'll be...
