Somebody Please Buy This

[hoosierpipeguy]

Been considering a basket weave Meer for some time. I absolutely don't need another Meer. Unfortunately, this one caught my eye at Meerchaum Market. I have inquired about who the carver is, whether it easily pass a fluffy pipe cleaner and the weight. In the off chance the answers all meet my criteria, could somebody buy this pipe and save me from the decision? Most of the Weaves I've seen, that I liked, were too big and heavy and/or wouldn't pass a pipe cleaner. Wish these Meer carvers would learn how to drill and make high quality stems.

To paraphrase a wise forum from a recent post … once you recognize that it’s a want and not a need … or words to that effect.

Nice Meer?

Sorry man, I thought you had better taste than considering this.

Solved?

No joke about how they carve the stems. Sometimes it feels like a log in your mouth.

The carver is Yusuf? Who is that? It's 53 gr and allegedly easily passes a pipe cleaner.

You're doomed. Enjoy the new pipe! ?

BUY IT. BUY IT. BUY IT.

Pretty sure I can see your name carved in it.

I would help you out but I cleverly spent my pipe budget on Jeep parts recently.

Oh, nice! I just bought a Sav bent billiard 606 KS with a carved bowl in the corn cob motif. I'm smoking it now. Really like the finish, the size and weight, and the expansive chamber.

That must have been the entire Jeep!

Easily the best Gif ever posted on this site. Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

Do it

 

[Meerly John]

There's a Yusuf at AKB. It's heavy and I doubt it passes a fluffy pipe cleaner. My AKB passes a taper narrow-end first.

Don't do it.

Have Altinay make you exactly what you want when you can justify it to yourself. We'll be here to help!

@Chasing Embers you have any by Yussuf?

None by him. Just AKB, IMP, Yanik, Kenan, and Emin Brothers.
