[QUOTE="ravkesef, post: 354742, member: 1278"] Perhaps I'm the wrong guy to respond, since I've never smoked one. I have 6 Meerschaums and about 100 briars, and I love them all. Well, most of them anyway. A good block meerschaum can be a wonderful smoker, as can a good briar. So my question is, since a good briar can be a wonderful smoker entirely on its own, what would a meerschaum lining contribute that the briar doesn't already possess? Remember, it's pressed, not block meerschaum, and while there's nothing inherently bad about that, but this is a pipe that will never develop a cake--the best part of a briar. Unless, of course, it's an inferior grade briar to begin with, in which case I'm not certain that a meerschaum lining pressed into the bowl will help much. But remember, I acknowledged at the outset that I'm speculating, since I've never tried one. It's just that if someone came along and offered to line my briars with meerschaum at no cost to me, I'd decline his offer. [/QUOTE]
