Ok so loving the meerschaum pipe. Now looking for my second pipe. I have seen a few that look nice to me but I'm new at this so I'll ask here. What I'm looking for is something I can smoke for an hour or a little more. I get about 30 mins out of the legend model MM. What is a good size bowl for a longer smoke? Second question is dr grabow pipes. How good are they? My third pipe I'm gonna spend a little cash on but not looking to spend 50 plus $ right now on a pipe. So was looking at the grabow pipes. I know estate pipes are good as well but the ones I've seen are pretty expensive also. Thanx for any help
I used to sit outside all night and drink bud lite and smoke Marlboros and everyone thought I was a bum. Now I sit outside all night and drink craft beers and smoke cigars and everyone thinks I have class.

I can't answer the question on the bowl.  I've never worried about smoking mine longer than my bowl does now.  If I have time to smoke another one it has always brought me joy to redo the entire ceremony of repacking my pipe.  I will say the three Dr Grabow pipes I've had have all been excellent and look quite nice for a lower priced pipe.  I would have no problem recommending one to a new smoker.  Lol and to be an enabler of pipe use....  Here is a decent site with just about every pipe and price range you could want http://www.tobaccopipes.com/tobacco-pipes/

i buy pipes on ebay a good bit. you can get a good pipe for cheap as long as it isn't being sold by someone who specializes in resale.

Ok good very helpful. I like the look of the grabows. And yeah I've been recommended to that site twice now. Thanx!

I thought about that too. How do you know it's cleaned up and all? Or do you just clean it when you get it.

i just clean them myself. Walker Briar Works  makes a nice stem restore product (i think it's just Brasso and wax) i use for the stem. i then just scrape the bowl and just pour some high proof through it then let it dry. many blv the older pipes have denser briar as well. maybe?

I know estate pipes are good as well but the ones I've seen are pretty expensive also. Thanx for any help

Mr Brog is a great pipe in my opinion, I have one of the pear wood pipes i have been smoking for years and love it. Very reasonably priced also.
