March Meer Madness - 2015

[Mister Moo]

Well....here it is...my first ever Meer purchase!

It has some obvious rim char, a little bit of cake, and the stem/shank will def need to be cleaned...I've never worked on a Meer before...

Stem/shank - pipecleaner + alcohol. A little cake - fergettabowdit. Crud (not char) on the rim - that's a personal thing. If you want it gone and kept gone it'll be a smoke x smoke thing - same ole same ole; spit and a paper towel + a little gentle rubbing when the pipe is cold.

Just smoked some MacBaren 7 Seas Gold in the SMS meerschaum. This is a great smoking pipe, and it's not really as white as it looks in this photograph.

Was kinda what I was planning on doing!

Thanks Mr. Moo and your jolly band of enablers!!!!
