[QUOTE="Benjamin Button, post: 47206, member: 460"] Really depends on how you want the pipe to age and "color" as it is smoked. Some advocate the use of clean cotton gloves while smoking a meer to keep the oils of your skin from marring the finish. While I find that notion pretentious, my meer is not a collectors item nor a family heirloom. Unless yours is, I wouldn't worry too much about touching it. On the other hand, I don't advise using this pipe while working around the garage or in the yard. As long as your hands are not filthy, the natural oils should not cause much issue. Here is a well colored meer for an idea of what they can look like after many years...
