Well, at the 6-year-old’s urging, after 15 years of eyeing each other on the shelf, I’m enjoying the maiden puffage. Post-meal Nightcap. And it smokes perfectly wonderful. Kinda feel like I need to name this pipe. 
I just realized I never posted a pic of my meer falcon bowl 
Although CAO is better known for their cigars these days, I seem to recall they started out with pipes in the '60s?
I actually looked up CAO pipes today. They apparently have some pretty nice meerschaums. And it appears that these days, those are the only pipes they sell. But of what I saw, they were all in the $200+ price range.
I've been eyeing Falcons and meer bowls, do these give the meer experience for a fraction of the cost?
Partially yes but the draw on falcons is more open than you would generally find in standard 'real meerscahum pipes
That’s a plus in my book
I tried using Falcon rings in a first generation Falcon the other night, but it blocked the draw to the point of rendering the pipe useless.
The meerschaum pipes without the screw in inserts tend to have a wide open draw.
That’d work for me. I prefer a wide open draw. ?

Hey, I finally did. I recently shipped off a bunch of pipes to SP.com for store credit. Definitely transitioning to more of a Meer/MM guy. I was gonna sell them here on the Forum, but I’m tired of selling shit. Going to the post office is a POA during the holiday season. ? Whats more is that I’ve finally been able to organize the top drawer of my pipe & tobacco cabinet. Take a ?.
Now enjoying a bit of cube cut St. James Plug in the Peterson African Meer (located farthest from the right on the bottom row). This is a patience smoke! It takes patience to cut the plug into thin flakes, cube cut the flakes to a uniform consistency, let dry for about 45 minutes, gravity fill the bowl and gently tamp down. It then takes patience to light at times as it’s still a dense cube cut (a bit smaller than grapenuts). But, the ? takes over…it’ll likely be at least a glorious 75 minute smoke or more.️

Second ever meer, third new pipe I buy, a heavily discounted Altinay.
Was between making this pipe a straight Virginia pipe, or stuffing it with Ennerdale for its virgin burn, decided on filling it with a cube cut flake of F&T CBP, actually takes up exactly half of the chamber.
