I’ve only been here a couple and a half years….
Do it again!
You know there's a bunch of porn addicts (pipes, that is) here, don't you
Overexposure is never an issue
But yet you won't put up the time and effort to take individual pictures of all of them. Come on, it would only take you a few weeks.
OK. Do you really want me to do this just to gratify your morbid curiosity? I swear you are all waiting for me to drop off my perch so you can cruise by my widow and try and buy them for like $5 each from her or something!
You should just start your own thread, showing off all your pipes. Then you can add to it. Then link the thread everytime someone (like me) asks to see em. Lol
However someone would find a way to derail it anyways.
So
So there’s hope?
You have seen the pictures of my wife right? What she sees in me I have no idea but apparently I am the ultimate sex thimble since she is almost 6 ft tall!
Sort of like a 'What are You Smoking' thread but dedicated to Condor's fecking 'Cutty" pipes? What could possibly go wrong with that idea? Within the first page it would turn into an extravaganza of lewdness, midget pornography, pyro flatulence and general bad taste that would make Star Cat look like a sane thread. This would result in Kevin having to ban half the forum all because you want to see a bunch of ancient meerschaum pipes!
Why name it? I have several pipes here that I gave a name. Sounds odd, but then, why not?
I have been wanting a meerschaum pipe for the longest time and I have had a few, but they always felt like a gimmick to me. Maybe it was the crazy designs or just the very small bowl sizes I ended up with, but I would just never smoke them.
Today this ends up- I finally found something that feels just right! The size is perfect, the shape is perfect and it is an army mount with a silver olive…
At this point I just have to decide if I should try to clean up the dark rim and get fresh start or just leave it.
I recently saw a Meer here, with an absolutely gorgeous peach coloured sunset coloration - any pro tips on how to achieve that? Any other Meer tip would be greatly appreciated too!

The meer will color the way is going to, not always the way you want it to
You can find them just about any way you want them.
Use a coloring bowl exclusively. They turn the pipe into a reverse calabash.
Treat them as you would any other pipe.
Ghosh young man. What a big pipe you have!
I always say that you should treat your meerschaum pipe like your woman. Load it up three times a day and ride it to heaven and back again!
After finally falling in love with Meerschaums because of this army mount Altinay:
I just couldn’t wait to get my next Meer and it just arrived:
I have to say that is the highest grade amber I have ever seen used on a pipe.. just look at the translucency and shine it has. According the person I bought it from, It hasn’t been restored in the last 45 years.
At this point I think I will just be cleaning it, extremely gently and carefully and then smoke it once. Correct me if I am wrong but a pipe like that shouldn’t be smoked often, I mean it’s not worth the ember deterioration.
If that’s the case I will have to start looking for another Meer to fit in my rotation…

Update:
Now actually smoking the pipe, after unclogging and cleaning up literally every single airway, I am absolutely stunned by how good it smokes… it is perfectly comparable to any modern pipe! There are very few products or industries that can do that after more than century.
