How do you like your meerschaum?

darkleeroy · 07-26-2010, 04:26 PM

I have a CAO meer in the shape of a latticed apple, what I like most about it was the fact that it didn't need much rest before I picked up my next bowl. It ended up being my go to pipe while I was working at the shop until I dropped it on the floor.

But yea, if you can find a CAO meer, they're usually not that much money, I paid about 100 for mine.

This looks like a fair deal on a CAO Meer. Less than $45.00 shipped.

Funny about this this thread. Just snarfed a large meer at a B&M the other day. Not Baki but wonderful geometry. It has a large push-pull and a good open draw; no gurgles or airway restrictions. Sombish is biggish but puff like a charm. I hate the yellow stem but love the smoking characteristics - importer Paykoc (pie-kosch). 6 7/8" overall.

Beware small pipes with typical bad draw.

This looks like the same pipe, $95.00 - http://meerschaummerchant.com/p-799-...eerschaum.aspx

I have a Paykoc, a bent lattice similar to the picture below, that I bought from our local B&M. It's a pretty pipe but does have a gurgle problem on some occasions. The moisture is collecting on the tenon. If I run a pipe cleaner part way down, it soaks up the moisture. I think the diameter of the mortise/tenon is a mite too small and the draw is a bit tight. My $20.00 no-name ebay meer is a better smoke. I prefer any of my 3 MM cobs to either of my meers.
