*** What Are You Smoking?*** (September 2018)

[mso489]

I'm trying to decide on my second bowl in my "new" estate Meer, courtesy of a fellow Forums member: probably I'll choose Sutliff Lord Nelson in a straight billiard Meer with wine-grape etchings. I really like how the Meer delineates and clarifies flavors in a blend. It's an excellent addition to the rack ... well, actually it lives in a handmade box that came with it, but it's near the rack.
