Exactly! And if he doesn't know exactly how many pipes he owns before I get there, then he won't know exactly how many pipes he owns after I leave!How long were you planning to visit ?

First brand new meerschaum, and the first one I'll actually smoke. An Altinay. It's my first spigot as well. Trying to decide what type of blend I want to christen it with, and whether or not I should dedicate it to lakelands or latakia (or neither) in the long run.
Nice pipe! But it doesn’t really matter what you smoke in it for the first few smokes, it’ll all taste like new meerschaum.
Just remember, if you dedicate it to a certain blend, and then get tired of that blend, you get tired of that pipe.

Would probably dedicate to a general blend type - lakeland vs latakia - as opposed to a specific blend, but I see your point. I'll probably leave it undedicated for the time being.
See...there's no way I could smoke that on this planet. I'd get a few puffs from each bowl at best, and the rest would be smoldering on the carpet...or in my lap. But I'm happy for you!
Hadn't considered that...but that one still looks to be at a more manageable angle than the owl.
Great choice...I like that one a lot...enjoy!
I kind of miss that new meerschaum taste. Can anyone recommend a chalk aromatic?Nice pipe! But it doesn’t really matter what you smoke in it for the first few smokes, it’ll all taste like new meerschaum.
I have the same issue as Chasing Embers in that I am missing a ton of teeth due to the effects of radio active iodine treatment before they finally got around to yanking my thyroid out about seven years ago. I am too vain to go for dentures and I find that the stem of the 'cutty' seems to work well for those of us who are challenged in the 'mastication tool' department.
Coloring quickly.
Wow, that is coloring quickly. Is it very low density or just drowned in wax?
Very little wax, just smoked heavily back to back and not cleaning it. I just got it last Thursday.
Due to my usual tendency to overthink things, I was so worried about ghosting my new Altinay with lakelands, that I've already bought another meer to smoke my lakelands in. Or maybe that's just what I tell myself in order to justify buying a new pipe again already.
It's one of the unbranded ~$100 ones from Meerschaum Market. Anyone have any experience with these?
