Meers are great pipes. They smoke great, very cool. If you want them to color evenly, they say that you must wear gloves to keep the oils off the pipe. Ehhh, I didn't notice a big deal. Like I said, they smoke well.
They can be a bit more fragile than briar though. Especially the mortice - tenon area. But, if you're good to it, it isn't a problem.
Peace of the Lord be with you.
