ABout time to bump this guy and to get your meers out of hiding...
March Meerschaum Madness
- Thread starter Senshi
- Start date
Might save some shekels for this years Meer March.
I am out this year. Too many other pipes have been tempting me.
I'll be smoking my same pipes from last year. Unless something happens....
Me too. That is unless Baki has a pipe that I just can't live without!
I'm keeping with what I have as well. Unless I find a nice estate. Went hog wild last year haha.
I got my H Cor out a few days ago. Gotta get some pre MMM time in. Cant wait to see all the meets come out.
I'm not planning on one unless I get crazy hours at work during the slow time... but I have my two to keep my company.
Just trying to get people thinking about it and letting noobs in on the fun and let them shop around before the fun begins!

I don't anticipate picking up any new ones this year, but I'll smoke the heck out of the ones I have already, no doubt. Some haven't been touched since last year March. lol
Something happened....won a bid on a Vintage Kirsten with three bowls, one of which is a meer, so that will be added to the mix.
Very cool.. and man, that reminded me I have one of those vintage meer bowls for my Kirsten. I'll have to make sure to get that into the March rotation as well.
Have one coming. Pics to follow.
I'm working on building a much better pic taking setup, so if I can get it done and it works, I'll have some good before and after pics this year to help show (hopefully) some god color progress on at least a few of mine.
Looking forward to the coming month! Have a really nice African Meer which I'll be picking up at a meeting of the Dutch/ Belgian Pipesmokersforum in March.
Looks very well smoked. Great looking meer!
Here's the pic:
Smallish and inexpensive. Didn't want to go bank on my first meer. Can't wait until the 1st!

It is actually very lightly smoked, the colour is put there by the factory. This is quite common with pipes made from African meerschaum.
Nothing wrong with that one. Nice pipe!
Well . . . seems this thread was revived.
So I need to ask now in retrospect, for those who did. . . did buying a meerschaum meet your expectations?

Definitely
. I enjoy them quite a bit. Probably don't smoke them as much attention as I should. Not really a pipe to use when out working it the yard or multi tasking.
And avoid possums.Definitely
