First Meerschaum

[Bulldog Bruce]

Got my first meer from my little darlin(SHMBO) for B-Day. After hearing on several occasions they tend to ghost flavors quite easily, am considering waiting to smoke this pipe. After almost 5 months since picking up pipe still don't really have a 'go too' or all day blend. It's carved as the 'reaper', and is pretty cool just to look at and display. Am I being over cautious. Any feedback app.

Just smoke the hell out of it!Scrape it out with a sharp penknife after smoking
you don't want a cake to build up.I smoke different blends in mine one after another
don't worry about ghosts.

Meers don't ghost.. As a matter o fact the opposite is quite true. Its one of the reasons I semi sorta like em. I don't know about Winslows 'reaming' but the idea is correct..Don't let a cake build.
After the bowl cools I just rub it out a bit with a damp paper towel.

Thanks guys, guess I was mistaken. I do think, as clumsy as I am with sharp objects, I'll stick with a clean cloth, or maybe a shaped popsicle stick. :lol:
