For such a grand welcome,
I am called 'Doc' by many, as I am a 'Healer' by nature, Nurse, Vet Tech, even a Healer of lost souls(Minister).....(sometimes).
As I said I am a 'newbie', we have a Tobacconist here, I have tried a few of their 'blends', (Carolina Tobaccos), I have found a Black Cherry blend,and their Captains Champagne, to my liking so far...
I actually have 3 Missouri Meerschaum's, a pony, a mezzou, and a dark Ozark Mountain yes not fancy but I don't want to ruin a good pipe, with poor knowledge, or knowing what type of Tobacco I want to use etc....
I have just acquired a 'Rose in Hand" meerschaum, unsmoked, and don't quite know what I want to do with it??
I also have a vintage "Kay woody" on its way to me.
I did find interesting that my instincts were good, use a 'cob' pipe to get used to pipe smoking, and different tobacco's, then use the Best pipes, for the best Tobacco's.
I would like to know, as far as the Meerschaum 'Rose in Hand', when I do smoke it....how should I go about seasoning it....???
The 'cob' pipes I just filled and lit (sorry, again newbie).
Any suggestions would be welcome.....
