[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 312949, member: 1690"] The only taste I get from a meerschaum is that of the tobacco and a slight warm wax scent, which I rather like--sort of like the slight sweet "corny" taste of a corncob. However, I read* years ago that the mystery author Georges Simenon, though a Dunhill devotee, preferred meerschaum but didn't usually smoke them because they left what he called an "old man" odor in the room. I'm not sure what he meant or whether that's accurate, but perhaps that rings a bell? Dunno. Most of the old men I know are either dead or wear aftershave. And no French jokes. * More than likely in "The Pipe Smoker's Ephemeris." [/QUOTE]
