[QUOTE="huffelpuff, post: 507472, member: 2140"] Interesting note on the smoking and coloring of Meers. The Czar was known to give very darkly colored Meers to important dignitaries, and high ranking military personnel. He would have said pipe sent to a military unit with tobacco and it would be smoked almost non stop for months on end by the entire unit until it attained the desired depth of color. I assume that whale oil was also provided as well as someone that knew what they were doing. As to the care and oiling. From what I understand Meers presented by the Czar were usually a very deep cherry red to almost black. Depending on just how long the pipe was smoked before presentation. Jim [/QUOTE]
