I hadn't toyed around with it much to be honest, smoked a few bowls here or there but it tended to gurgle, and doesn't like to pass a pipe cleaner.....Ill tinker with it, it has a really tall deep bowl......for this month I will give it my best!

Oh, that makes me so excited for mine!
First bowl my second to last bowl of original balkan sobrainie from a friend
Did that start out white or was it one of the ones that came new kind of tan/brown on the outside?
I think it's a great place to ask and be answered, I don't think I can white glove my meer all month....lolSo I don't screw this up tomorrow; Any words of wisdom for a brand new meer? Dos and don'ts?
I know, I know better, I'm going to go search a bit!
But still...?
I don't have much to offer other than, they're fragile, mine has some stem issues that need repair, but that's how it came
@ Clint, pretty much came like this, has darkened a little but most of what u see is how I received it
I am curious to see how it will change though, I'm going to commit to it this month

Gives it character, I doubt my changes will be eventful since it already has some color, going to shoot for 1-2 bowls a day for the remainder of the month, I'll either love it or hate it by the time were done dancing lol
That pipe makes me emotionally erect.
Here she is
... so you know, think about that next time you smoke it! BWA HA HA HA HA

Didn't have the ACTUAL Meerschaum ready to kick off Meerschaum March Madness, so this morning I settled for a Missouri Meerschaum/Forever Stem combo with some Bagpiper's Dream

Did you order from the pipe maker I referred? Or did you find someone else?Well, I've got mine ordered.
Should be here Monday or Tuesday, coming in direct from Turkey!
:happydance:
@mdwest told me bartering is part of the culture over there, so I gave it a shot and ended up talking him down ~25% off original listed price!

I already had this specific pipe in mind, but I'm going to contact your guy eventually, too!

I was a bit distracted today, but here was my original "review" from my first go round with it:
Wasn't sure what to make of this baccy at first. I had some tins sitting around for a while, but when it showed up on a buddy's "Tobacco Wish List" on BOTL it gave me an excuse to crack one open. Was kind of put off at first by the tin note, very flowery/fragrant, and probably never would have bought it if I were smelling that in bulk jars at some B&M. But, ever since packing up that sample, I've found myself anxious to try it. Almost craving it! (maybe because it was so different?) After opening and portioning off in to a jar, I think it had a bit of time to breath and the tin note now seems deeper. More complex. Less "in your face." Hard to describe I guess. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised with this very unique (to me) tobacco.

Ha! Well, that's when that review was from then!
You tell ME, it was on YOUR wishlist.
