Re: Meerschaum Pipes
Yes, you can smoke it more frequently than a briar pipe.
Just clean it very well afterwords.

Re: Meerschaum Pipes
And you can mix tobacco's in it, between aromatic and non-aromatic, with no detrimental effects as you would find with a briar...

Re: Meerschaum Pipes - EBay Buy
Ready 2 buy this Meershaum pipe that i have been eyeballin' the last little while. Pretty cheap, most likely particle packed rather than solid block, maybe wont last that long, could end up breaking on me. Lookin' for some opinions/feedback on this item. Thanks. Peace.

Re: Meerschaum Pipes
It's a nice one but you have to understand this:
5" long, 1.25" wide, 1.50"-1.75" tall with a bowl depth of 1"-1 1/4" I have one that's similar...it's very small...good for about a 15 minute smoke which is why I bought one...now I'm looking for a full-sized one, but can't decide on what kind of carving I want...

Re: Meerschaum Pipes
So you're going to make your first pipe (assumed) a meershaum? Not bad for 13 bucks! B^)
I'm actually not a huge fan of meershaum, I really like Clay (and even briar, for that matter) much better, but I'll venture to say you're going to love it. |

Got my pipe that i won from my Ebay bid today in the mail, i removed the pipe from packaging and spent the next 5-10 minutes admiring it (see last 5 posts above). I ran over to the local conveiniece store to get some tobacco, the selection was pretty slim, so i went for the Mac Baren Plumcake. Got home, opened up the tobacco pouch and took a whiff, smelled good; nice, rich aroma
. Rubbed a little tobacco then gravity filled the bowl, haven't bought a tamper so i used my pinkie finger to gently tamper, took me 3 matches to light the sucker up due to my newbie inexperience. Kicked back on lawn chair and savored the moment; good plumes of smoke, some pretty mild flavour, a bit of tongue bite, in the end finished 2 bowls. Tomorrow i goin' to the local B&M to buy a tamper, pipe cleaners and some pipe tobacco with a bit more nic kick and flavour; maybe some aromatics. All in all, i enjoyed my very first pipe experience.Last edited by smellyfeet; 04-26-2006 at 11:47 PM.. |

But today I saw a beautiful Big Ben at my tobacconist's shop and bought it, so I guess I will never get all the way away from briar's. I think that they are all good from time-to-time, as long as you enjoy them. Happy puffing! |
