I have plans to make a mixture 79 plug (because, awesome) and a brylon would create the perfect storm for mythbusting

I know. Don't tell anyone else but I put in the opening bid on that medico pot hout linked up there :lol:
That was the pot I sort of hinted to Father Tom before I knew he was already holding.
When I set out to acquire a brylon back when ever that was, I was looking for basically this pot. Someone offered s billiard with a 7/8 in bowl for $6.50 shipped. I decided that while it was not a pot, it was going to be close enough.

I am probably going to wait until August to smoke mine. I have a new corndog, and it is going to wait until the July Corndog Fry.

Having learned my lesson this month, I am not going to commit to all brylon every day, but I might decide to make the brylon the "traveling" pipe (like the Rob Roy this month). That will get it some field service, and I can properly weigh in with a verdict. MMM gives meerschaums a qualified review. They are fun, and I am glad I did it. They don't smoke the same things well, and much of my smoking involves things that work well in the briars. I worry about the meers breaking breaking and I am overcautious with them.

And your brylon kinda sorta looks like wood.

The cost of playing is a lot lower than meer or morta.
