Any of you guys have any??

My Dad has a bunch of really nice carved pieces.

Nope, not yet. :innocent:

Oh, there are some crazy carvings. I'll try to get some pics.

I own one ... the bowl has a simple lattice carving on the outside. It's an IMP brand and smokes well, with a fairly neutral taste. I usually smoke flavored or aromatic tobaccos in it. If I was to get another it would probably be an egg in the claw design. I'm not much into the elaborate carved ones ... skulls, heads, animals, etc ... although I do appreciate the artistry.

3 meers from other threads. I've smoked the one in the second photo (estate pipe that required a ton of cleaning) and it still gives off a wee bit of taste from the tobacco the previous owner liked. I have smoked the dragon claw in the first pic several times, and I really like it. It's a smaller bowl for a quicker smoke. The lattice egg is still unsmoked.

Right now I have one
but thats going to the someone in my box pass.
Its the contest pipe I got for being in the P&T meer coloring contest.
Its starting to color really well and will be a great pipe for a starter pipe smoker.

I used to have 4 or 5 meers but broke 1 of them and gave the rest away as gifts.

I really want a meer dragon Saxaphone pipe some day.
