Until yesterday my meerschaum has always been of the Missouri persuasion. I decided it was finally time to give Turkish a go. So far I’m thoroughly enjoying it, light weight and is a cool, dry smoker. I don’t think it will be my last.

Turkish corn cobs are the way to go.?
My meerschaum collection. These include modern and vintage pipes. I love them all.
Finally got the macro lens out to get a snap of the color on my Nate King meer prince:
The pipe is a solid cream color now with a bit of a line/divide showing up about mid-bowl, but most of the color are these spots on the pencil-shank stem and around the rim/in the bowl (obviously).
Not quite the crazy patterns you see on those 'translucent' meers but it's starting to get interesting!

Very nice...that one belongs on the Frigate for sure. Who's the carver?
Actually no idea. It's awfully tiny, it may be a look at only. It was on Meerschaum Market since February. Surprised it didn't sell in that time.
Calling out to you, Duane.
Had your name all over it

Nah that's my 614. They are almost comparable to my 106. Ones slightly wider, ones slightly deeper.
But to keep this back on track, when will we see the comparison shot from your meer churchwardens?
Looks like it's due to arrive Monday. Looking at the product shots, it's basically a small bent billiard.
The big one has a chamber depth of 68.58mm. The little one's chamber is only slightly smaller.

There, I fixed that for you.
Burak from Meerschaum Market said their average sellers were 58mm. The big one isn't even my largest pipe.
