March Meer Madness - 2015

[JustTroItIn]

Had a cigar outside this evening as the rain went away, the sun came out, and we were sitting in the mid 50's. No I'm enjoying a bowl of PS LNF in my meer. A very nice follow up to the stick.

The Yanik Cabbage again - with thanks to @cigarsarge for FVF.

Burnin some nice tobacco in my Missouri Meer General. Newminster 400 Superior Navy Flake. A real sleeper - can't believe it's so cheap, this stuff's good!

A slight downside is that I'm still breaking in the general so there's some sour corn smell added to the navy flake.

Hi Bruce,

Did you smell a chocolate top note on the Newminster 400? It is a well made tobacco. Similar to Stokkebye Luxury Navy but the cut's more like Gawith & Hoggarth.

Sour corn smell? You chillin' or distillin'?

Yes, I guess you could call it chocolate, kind of like hot cocoa. I have some of the Stokkeybe's navy flake, which is also quite nice, but between the two I'd take the newminster.

Yes, the cob is from one of those 10-packs of seconds from Missouri Meerschaum. It had a strong sour smell, almost like turpentine when it was new, but it's mostly gone now.

Keeping the faith with some homemade flake in my Altinok meer. Just finished a bowl so I pursued the only logical course of action - lit up another one!

Enjoying the CAO Meer with some HH ODF on this amazing and sunny Spring afternoon day.



Here Are Some Things I've Learned This March Meer Madness:

1. Even a Briar-holic can buy and appreciate a nice Meer pipe.
2. It really is true, some blends just taste better in a Meer.
3. Yep, it's also true that they don't ghost (at least not easily)
4. They aren't as much work as some would lead you to believe...
5. And ultimately, I have learned that @Mister Moo is a big ol' enabler

Meers are fun

March is almost at an end and I'm smoking PH Dark Strong Flake while watching some Sherlock. While I don't think she has gained much color, it has been fun bringing the Meer out almost everyday.

Had a little nightcap of Sutliff Sweet VA in a mini meer.

Smoking some Ashton Guilty Pleasures in my smooth billiard meer. The flavor isn't bad but it's a bit goopy.
