I have several briar but only one meer and I don't smoke it very often. I have been thinking about getting more meers. I'm a wet smoker and was concerned about moisture being in the bottom and making the meer soft so when I clean out the ash I might damage the meer.
Which Meerschaum Brand Would You Recommend?

Nope, just clean em out gently. Meer is very tough material. Just don't dig into the bowl.
Y’all are a bad influence. I have an inexpensive meerschaum estate pipe inbound.
Smaller unsmoked lattice claw???? Amazing. No name?
When you get it, post more pics in the meer claw show off thread! I think a meer claw will be my final meerschaum purchase.
I got my mini-meer from AND (meerschaum.com). It’s a 3/4” bowl, so same size as my MM cobs. Works great, tenon is good so far, and they claim it’s block. Hard to find small meers with a decent sized bowl.
Picked it up to better sample different tobaccos, blends, and mixes I’ve been making up. As a neophyte piper I’ve got ten briars I recently pre-inherited from my father, but they have been sitting for nigh on 50yrs. The little meer gives me a smaller cleaner smoke and allowed my to narrow down my preferences much quicker. For about $25 shipped I’m thrilled with it.
I definitely will be getting a standard size from them down the road, if the mini holds up well.

Yes we should get links to some of those meerschaum videos, and make them a sticky in this area of the forum. Lots of good information!
