I am looking at Meerschaums again and I found a few I like... one of them is from Altinok and they said they coated the pipe in a brown beeswax... as opposed to the clear beeswax... Assuming that this brown beeswax explains the brownish sheen of the pipe, Will the pipe eventually lighten back to white? Will I get brown beeswax stains on my hands and clothes? I emailed them, but haven't heard back yet. I am so curious, that I can't wait... so here I am asking you.
I also sort of like their Meerschaum Lee Van Cleef pipe. I am a fan of the guy... and it's a nice looking pipe. This one is actually stained/colored... it's not the wax...
If anyone has an absolutely favorite place to get a Meerschaum, please let me know... I am still looking. I expect to spend $150-$250 on a good, solid block Meer.
