Hi,
I've been smoking briar for over 10 years and am now finally getting my first meer (a baki, from lurking it seems to be the number one, if not a top choice). I understand that you can't use a standard reamer on it, most videos and posts say to instead use a tobacco knife/towel with water. What I am having a hard time finding though is what the bowl should look like after a proper reaming.
It should take some time until my meer gets here from China so while I wait I would be more than thankful for any pictures of your meers after cleaning the bowl. While there are many, many, many videos discussing the numerous ways to wax the pipe no one really touches on this that I can find (or maybe they go over it after talking for 20+ minutes on waxing I dunno). Also any tips for a completely new meer smoker would be more than appreciated.
