[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 156852, member: 1690"] Meerschaum pipes are a pain in the butt. You have to handle them carefully just to keep them from breaking, to say nothing of "coloring" them properly. I'm smoking a rather large SMS bent right now. The really good thing about them is that they come closest to making the tobacco taste the way it smells in the can, bag, or whatever--kind of a "fresh" flavor very slightly tinged with the scent of warm beeswax. I like that once in awhile. But on the other hand, when I again take up a good briar, I am impressed with how much the well-seasoned wood adds to the flavor, a certain earthiness lacking in the meerschaum. "Ghosting," smoking different blends and flavors in the same briar doesn't bother me a whit, since the only tobacco I really detest is that Black Cherry (Paladin?) stuff that's still floating around for some reason. But each to his own tastes. Watching the meerschaum color, in my estimation, has limited appeal. . [/QUOTE]
