[QUOTE="Haebar, post: 591086, member: 3913"] I used to think meerschaums were fragile too, until my girlfriend accidently dropped my meerschaum calabash on a concrete floor at the 2019 Muletown Pipe Show as she was showing it to a customer and it wasn't even scratched! About coloring your meerschaums, there are no shortcuts - you just have to smoke them frequently. Genuine block meerschaum pipes will color much faster than pressed meerschaum. One way to tell if your pipe is block meerschaum is by its weight. Pressed meerschaums are heavier than block meerschaums; a block meerschaum will feel light in the hand compared to a comparably sized pressed meerschaum. Block meerschaum smokes cooler too. [/QUOTE]
