That colored really quickly. Beautiful bowl BTW. I fooled with a couple of Meerschum pipes back in the '80s. Richard Hacker's Ultimate Pipe Book recommended smoking them with a cloth over the bowl to prevent oils from the fingers mottling the color. I did that but it became more trouble than it was worth for me. They don't form a cake in the bowl IIRC. Anyway, cool pipe.Quote:

Also, a picture of some hard to find or limited edition releases. All the tins are sealed and a few I had to find in Germany. I always enjoyed retaining some limited edition Cuban cigars and now with me switching to a pipe I can find limited edition tobacco's for a tenth of the price of the Cubans. : )

Really cool Bob. I am familiar with the Three Nuns, the Pelikan, and the Penzance, though I haven't smoked any of them in many moons. Funny to see that antique with the corded handset and numbers on your desk ....... I forgot about those ....... :DQuote:

Yeh, I was surprised by how quick the colour started coming. It was getting pink round the top after just one smoke. I've heard of using a cloth to touch it. I haven't bothered with that so far, but maybe I'll look into it. It sounds like either it could be worth it for a nice looking pipe or it could be messing about for no obvious benefit. I'll try to find some comparison pictures.Quote:

Haven't smoked the old version for a long time but rather cellaring those tins i have. As the manufacturer changed the old stock is gone forever.
I always liked it but now it was even better than i remembered. Aging for several years has done wonders.
