The stars have aligned. 2018 Stonehaven in an Altinay Bent Brandy Translucent Meerschaum carved by Nedim. The Stonehaven is thanks to the generous @hoosierpipeguy and his great downsizing event. The pipe is entirely @cshubhra ‘s fault. Celebrating the 20th bowl smoked in this pipe.

2022 Carolina Red Flake in a K. Bertram. A few months in a jar have served this blend well.

Moisture builds up there at the base and a pipe cleaner barely fits into the end of the bowl. It’s pretty poorly drilled. Have you ever seen this on a meer? Believe it or not though the draw is fine. It’s just hard to want to smoke the thing when I have many other pipes that don’t gurgle at all.

Many have those types of inserts, you may just need to replace the ones on yours.

Beautiful pipe! How do you like the London Dock?

One of my top five of all time.

Got this shrimp of a bent billiard (I had posted it on the no name thread) up and working. Completely clogged up with tar, a lot of it solidified, but it's clear now. I christened it with a some Granger. Nine dollars and a lot of elbow grease. Smoked just fine, but certainly not long enough for any deep contemplation!
