NPD! My first Meerschaum

This material is very pleasant to the touch. Feels great in hand.
The inaugural smoke is soon to follow.

That's a great looking meerschaum. I too prefer smooth finishes and classic shapes. Enjoy it
Looks small in pictures, but you can't fathom the incredible size of it I'm sure.
Says it has a chamber depth of 2.01". It appears to possibly be a piece of a collection that I've slowly been getting from SPC's estates but it may just be a coincidence.
Either way I'm not knocking large well made meerschaum pipes for under $100.

Looks like Kenan got in a block just big enough to make me a pipe.
Damn...I hope you'll get one of your holiday commissions out of that.
Meerschaum's gotten too expensive for me. Estates only now but I can't wait to see what he does with that monster.
I guess I'm lucky I like small cheap pipes. My most expensive meer I sold off. Too big, didn't like the stem.
I wish I liked estates. Gotta start from fresh unfortunately.
That's a shame, because your holiday collection will never be complete without a Groundhog Day commission...and with a block that size it could be fully realized.
IMP after approximately 60 bowls. I’m surprised at how well it’s coloring. 
That coloring suggests that it was carved from a translucent block.
Three of my favorites crafted by F. Baki.
I picked up this estate prince.
It comes with 2 stems a vulcanite one and an acrylic one.They actually look decent to me
I figure I can drill the stem out if the draw is restricted as it doesnt use the horrible screw in push/pull tenon
I dont know the maker and there doesnt appear to be any clues from the pictures
