I can't stop. Something has my brain, and my wallet and is buying pipes, I CAN'T stop. But I do like them. I am off to smoke the meer right now so I will update with smoke delights soon. When my wife notices them I will remind her of the new SRX I never get to drive, so there woman.

I have been smoking a pipe off and on nearly 40 years. I have been smoking every day for about the last 10. This is my first meer. I have never had a smoke so good as this meer. Warm in the hand, very well balanced without too much tooth weight. Why didn't someone tell me before about this? OK, you did but I was, well I don't know, but something. What a pleasure. I packed up some Vanilla Custard on recommendation of someone on this board, which also came today and wow, what a flavor. This may replace my Old VA. Ebony as the every day smoke. Maybe, a bowl of each...
uberam3rica: The Sav is about 7" long. I love Churchwardens and this is a not quite church. As soon as I finish with the aftertaste of the Vanilla I will pack it up with some Ebony and update.
As for the Custard recommendation, thanks.

I just finished the Sav. Really nice, smooth draw, very cool being an almost Church and I bet the balsa has a bit to do with it. This is a hold in your hand pipe as it is a little heavy on the tooth but, so are all of my Churchwardens so no surprise there. My driveway is 2/10 of a mile and the walk back was a little heavy. I would recommend this pipe highly for a sitting smoke so you can rest it on your chest. The inside of the bowl is somewhat narrow so you you don't want to draw hard on it and get the cherry too hot. I could only get my pinkie in it to pack. The hand fit is very good and the curve fits nice in the palm. I like it.
Oh noooo, I feel more PAD coming on.

A great looking pair of pipes. I am always amazed at the intricacy of the Meer carvers.

It is OK to look Hobi, well maybe not, I went back there this morning and now I want a Calabash. “I'm not normally a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me, Superman!”
Amalgam, it is Old Virginia Tobacco Co, here is the link. http://ovtc.com/index.html

It is great and I smoke it at least once a day. It smells, well like, it, a bit sweet but not sickly. The room note is not really any particular fruit but you would think it was fruity. You can go all day with it and not be overwhelmed. Also try the Checkmate, a little more smokey but still sweeter.
