    How Many Missouri Meerschaums Do You Own?

    I seem to have accumulated a number of them, just wondering who else has, and how bad is your MMAD (Missouri Meerschaum Attention Disorder)?

    I have 15 or so myself

    I have five, not counting the one I am contemplating repairing. Why, when I could buy another for well under $10?... It is already broken in with a decent cake, and it was my intrductory pipe into piping. I wouldn't mind picking up a few more.

    I have dozens of them, although I only have 6 in rotation. I picked up several lots of them on Ebay at very little cost per pipe. Some were new and others were smoked lightly. Bought two MM seven day sets on ebay as well at different times. My favorite ones are the custom ones made by Farmerje on ebay, particularly his bamboo shanked ones. I love the way cobs smoke; they can tame a goopy aromatic and don't gurgle.

    I have three that I almost never smoke. They are there for the few times a year I seem to dabble on the pipe side.

    Just one, right now – unsmoked. I never smoke 'em myself, but like to have one of the $5 cobs on hand, in case a non-pipe smoking friend wants to try some of my tobacco.

    I have nine in the rotation. One being a Freehand that I so far have only smoked Semois due to the massive sized bowl and Semois being so dry that it burns quicker than others.

    BTW all, I'm still around. Work has just kept me plenty busy so it has been difficult to participate the last few months. It will be a while before things calm down but I'm still piping and will try and touch base every now and then.

    I have 4 and they still get a lot of use even though I have several briars now.

    I keep one in the truck and if I'm going camping or to deer camp that's what goes along.

    I have four and use them a ton. One is dedicated to Lakeland blends, the others are plain good smokers. I have a diplomat, a custom general with a warden stem, a Missouri pride, a legend, and a Washington. Wait - gifted the Washington.

    One of these days I will pick up a dwarf or shire cobbit.

    I have just the one, but it is the pipe I smoke 90 percent of the time. Sure it'll never quite be a nice briar, but given it can take a beating and still smoke like a champ it's always the one I pick up. I know sure as day that if I used something fancy more often I'd be sure to drop an anvil on it or somesuch!
