So I guess sign me up under the "I want to know why they're so awesome and should I buy one" crowd. I have been looking at clay pipes lately....maybe I should jump up my Meer game instead.

If you jump I cannot recommend a meer-lined briar. I know the lined pipes are not without their fans but I m not one of them.

I wouldn't buy one, so no worries. Why would I want my briar to be more fragile? :D

If I get one, I think I would spring for one of those dimpled billiards. I like the look of them, and I like how the African Meer colors. What I don't care for, are the prices :p

You understand, I am not here as an enabler - only here to try and make the odds go your way if SOMEONE ELSE is a PAD enabler. :D

Last meer I bought (a "cheap" but large/large Paycok dublin with clamshell case) was at a B&M in JAX/San Marco a few years ago - thought $90 was high for a Paycok but the pipe was exacty what I was looking for.

Holy Guacamole! The closest thing from Altinok is about $170-$190; Paycok runs around $120 (however, the patriotic bejewelled bulldog trinket box is a close out bargain - something for the bosses birthday?

Smoking some Three Nuns in my flower print meer...and yes that is a snuggie and I'm not ashamed.

Welcome aboard to MMM-2015.

My African Meer will be my travel pipe for March. For long smokes around the house I'll use a Baki basket weave since it has a large bowl, and a l'll use a little Cevher figural for short smokes. I have two other meers that I don't care for at all...one I don't know the maker and the other is a crappy Storient.

Officially kicking off MMM with some Solani Silver Flake in a no-name straight lattice billiard. This pipe is going to get a workout this month.

I was just smoking some homemade twist in an Altinok meer when I came across this thread. Since it's March already, I guess I'm participating :)

I also have a cheap mini-meer that smokes pretty well. And numerous MMs, which is what I mainly smoke.

What do I win?

Congratulations! Your prize is the admiration and adoration of your peers, as well as countless "ooohs" and "ahhhhs" and "nice pipes". In order to claim your prize, you must post pictures of these pipes as proof.

I set the African out along with some organic Virginia Flake that I will be smoking everyday until gone. :pipe:

Meer Pron, as requested:

Altinok Meer, had it a few months, starting to get some color to it.

Mini meer; I had my doubts when I first got it, but it's a great little smoker!

My latest batch of MM seconds. Yes, you're only counting 9 - I gave one to a BOTL co-worker :)
