I have to 2nd the sentiments of @MortarMessiah and say, wow that is a really gorgeous Meer. It certainly looks antique, for sure. And huge. I love the scenes/carvings -- looks like some sort of Turkish prince straight out of Eskişehir.Earlier today, I dug out another old, antique meerschaum. I've been told that it may have been made back around the turn of the century, but I am not sure. Anyway, it has some interesting images carved around the bowl and is quite large. I had a nice English blend called, "Baker Street" which is from the Country Squire. I haven't smoked any in a while.

I lit mine up this evening I already have a special place for this pipe it’s out of the main stand ready to burn some EMP in the a.m but I really wish it was a systemCult Blood Red Moon or whatever it’s called (fresh this stuff is goopy and a chemical stew), but this jar has five years on it. Really smoothed out the 3 Mile Island vibe. In an 03 Peterson Cobble. I really like this pipe. Mind you I’m road weary after 4 days of minimum 7 hours driving and 3 fire scenes in three very far apart places. As an added bonus I have an 11 hour drive tomorrow.
Good thing I like audiobooks, caffeine and my truck.
