some frenchy's sunza today for my work snack (thanks, kev!):
this is becoming meertober for me. a couple estate pick ups, and wanting to learn more about the medium, means i have been burning the SHIT out of this one meer for a week running. probably going to sub out this weekend, but may just stay the course and make this one meer my bitch by halloween. o)

My wife just said that this tobacco smells amazing. That's the first time she's ever said that about any cigar or pipe I've smoked!Boswell's PA Dutch Treat in a Christmas Sav 320.

After...halfway through the bowl. I smoke English blends 90% of the time, but I've smoked other aromatics that didn't get that comment.

not sure, as i have been exploring estates, but altinok is a major, and meerqueen does decent (meerschaummarket.com, IIRC? posted it on pipe dealies...).
you ONLY have ten pipes?!? o)
I posted about it when I got it I think, but it's a Nørding Lovat Grade 13 estate that I picked up in September. It's proved difficult to photograph as my phone refuses to display all the detail in one pic, so here are a few that show various details. Crazy grain, great Cumberland, and a solid smoker to boot.I agree. More info on the pipe please!That's a purdy Nord!'11 Stonehaven in my Nørding.
And some Zance in a rock cob this afternoon. So good. Just bought a red rock cob with bamboo shank. Can't wait to get it in my grubby hands... Ha.
Thank you. Was thinking the same thing.
Baki, Ural, Altinok, WGM, and MeerQueen are the best meers that I've seen and have direct feedback from others. F. Baki being the best made in my opinion. Go to http://bestmeerschaums.homestead.com/bakipipes.html for Baki meers- they sell fast and are only imported a few times a year. The Baki meers are only sold on that one site through his importer. I'm pleased with mine and I've never heard any different from anyone else that has own either. The screw-in tenons on cheaper meers are a problem area. If you get a good quality meer make sure it's a push tenon. My next meet will be a lee van cleef Altinok. I recently bought an estate Peterson African System meer too. Can't wait to clean it up and smoke it.
Dismal pretty much summed it up, but I would add Ozgur to the mix solely on what I've seen from others who own one. He makes some really awesome Meers and his pricing is reasonable for the quality. If you search Ozgur Pipes on eBay you will see his stuff. I was recently introduced through a pipe forum I'm on, but when I'm ready for another I'll likely go with him. I'd love a Baki, but for a purchase like that I'll need to either start stashing money away from the wife or need a special occasion... Ha ha ha
