That's coloring quicky I think. I have an Altinay starting to show similar coloration with over 100 smokes so far.
Perhaps I won't be so strict on keeping the cake down.

Seems to be coloring up nicely a bit already. I'm about to pack up bowl 41 in my new Tekin and it's not that colored but it's a much larger piece of meerschaum.

 

[kcghost]

That was a fairly to get the coloring you got. I wish you well in your further efforts.

Going by other posts and threads, Altinay pipes seem to color more slowly.

Gentlemen! Start your engines. We have just begun the monthly 'Color my Meerschaum' thread!. In the course this highly entertaining thread someone will saw a pipe in half to demonstrate coloring and disprove a few crackpot theories. There will be side diversions about the water flushing method which will now be called 'Water Sports' accompanied by in-depth pictures of the use of high pressure garden horses.

At least we know alcohol won't hurt them now.

Hows the drilling on those Astas Meerschaum pipes? Pass a cleaner?

Nah, I may just cake it till it splits.

I like the speckled look. Not sure how well it shows on here.

That's funny, what I remember is someone with a crackpot theory killed their pipe with a saw.

Now the new crackpot theory is that a meer won't taste like shit if it isn't cleaned. The hits keep rolling in.

I suppose the 'Water Flushing' method should be referred to as 'Pipe Colonics' or something similar!

Actually that is quite true. An occasional scrape of the bowl and a feather down the stem and you are all good. As to the pipe I really couldn't comment.
