[QUOTE="WarneOut, post: 590951, member: 5415"] Meerschaum pipes are relatively fragile, but they're more durable then their reputation would make you think. As long as you aren't dropping them onto concrete, you should be alright. For coloring, really just smoke it. Some people will say you need to periodically wax it, some people say smoke it for 2 weeks then rest it for a month and repeat. There's nothing wrong with doing any of those things, but they aren't necessary to worry about. Just smoke it as much as possible. For general care, unlike briars, you don't want to build up a cake. I wipe out the bowl with a wet paper towel after every few bowls. That's pretty much all there is to it. [/QUOTE]
