I just snagged what I feel is a hell of a deal on a nice meer. The auction was for an Altinay ball meer with a new/replacement stem (Tim West) for just under $50. This thing is a monster. The bowl depth can easily support two flakes worth of tobacco. Draw is great and it was well taken care of by the previous owner. I have been trending more and more toward my meers as of late and this is a great new addition. Maiden voyage was some G&H Sam's Flake.
