Meerschaum Depot Classic Churchwardens

I love meerschaum but you have to be really careful who you buy them from. I let my collection go in an estate sale because I was never satisfied with the draw. I was afraid to buy this pipe but I decided to trust P&C and once again, they delivered! I think this is probably the best pipe I've ever smoked and that's been hundreds over the past 60 years. Yeah, the bowl is a tat thinner than I would prefer but clench is perfect for me, it weighs next to nothing and the draw is exactly what you want. I can load it with 1-Q, pre-lite, tamp, light and smoke it down to a fine gray ash without ever touching it again. I don't think I've ever been able to do in all those years. I've just ordered the larger version (because this one is out of stock) and hope for something similar but don' really expect that level of perfection. We'll see. If and when they get this back in stock I'll buy another. Maybe two.
