Hello, all,
I remember someone here PIF'd a pipe like this last year: a sandblast briar stamped "Made in Tanganyika," with a meer-lined bowl. I'm considering buying a similar one on the 'Net from a good seller. Are these pipes solid smokers? What little I've been able to find about the models labeled "Kilimanjaro" is that the company used pressed instead of block meerschaum. Is that true of all lines? If so, does it affect the smoke much in the case of a liner?
And Pipedia mentions the Kilimanjaro as being of "East African pipewood." Is that the same as briar?
