Couldn't agree more.

Now all we need is a logo & a catchy jingle.

"Smokin' my Pioneeeeer, nothing could be fine-eeeeeer"

I feel your pain, q. I have enough briars but I smoke a MM General more than any of them; it has been burned and mudded several times over the years - lve the General! I like my meers for a few reasons but, first and foremost, when they're clean they don't add anything to the tobacco; A meer lets you know exactly what's what in a blend. For this reason I prefer a meer when I smoke a new-to-me tbacco for the first several times. Next, they barely (or rarely) ghost much so, for traveling, one meer can cover a couple of different tobaccos. Finally, they tend to smoke cool and it's pretty hard to get one soggy by smoking too much in a day.

As a sort-of slob, I like classic meers with smooth finishes because it' easy to keep them free of tobacco and ash. Exception: I could not pass on the Yanik cabbage which was too big, weird and carved to ignore.

Zee Yonn-eek Cobbidge, she eez a beest.

Whee doggie. This gonna be some club. Since it's unlikely anyone else would ever join we can rotate the presidency every year. If cut the MP3 theme song I'll print two business cards.

Not sure what brand/make this is actually (has a little dot thingy on the stem that says "SMS" on it). It was given to me when I returned from Afghanistan. Smokes great and is just starting to turn a nice shade of yellow!

Nice pipe. SMS is a respected maker of meerschaums, high quality goods.

Here is a disrespected Kaywoodie White Briar; I guess it is a fake meerschaum - never understood the white briar. I got mine off'n ebay a long time ago and I thought it was the hottest smoking pipe on earth. Now, years later, I think it smokes small but fine except for the a slight gurgle; this pipe has a threaded stem and was delivered with a schtinger. It's OK. Maybe I learned a few things about pipe smoking since I bought this thing. Yes, it is briar. Yes, it is vulcanite and wood painted white. And here am I, also in black and white, smoking a more respected MacB Vanilla Flake.
