[QUOTE="howellhandmade, post: 946, member: 14"] In my experience, a meer has two problems: first, most makers use those little miserable teflon tenons that won't allow a good draw, period, which makes the taste thin and bland even in a briar. My meers from Fikri Baki do not suffer from that problem, he makes his own and uses a larger tube. Second, it takes time to smoke out the raw, waxy taste. They need seasoning -- the first few times you smoke them you taste wax from beginning to end, and sort of a dry, chalky overtone, and the pipe itself smells like an airport ashtray when you're done smoking it. But, with time, those nasties fade. If you have the patience. I have one meer in particular that is a favorite. Jack [/QUOTE]
