Stop giving contradictory ideas! It's very confusing to me! LolI don't think this question was asked already in this thread (forgive me if it has), but is it just me or has anyone else noticed that antique meerschaum cheroot pipes almost always seem to have a very deep coloration? If so, wouldn't that go against the vote for building thick cake as best way to color meers (since cheroot pipes hold all the tobacco in the end cap/holder and not in the main body of the pipe, so presumably no cake is building up there)? Maybe it does all go back to back sperm whale oil...
I almost bought a meer cigarette holder today, just to see how it would color.
