    How to Avoid Bad Coloration?

    I agree but there also seems to be some lava on the top of the hat, and the shank looks darker than the rest of the pipe. Tinted wax + some use maybe?

    Pipe Myths

    Myth: if you drop meerschaum and it breaks, that means it’s pressed not block.

    I like chemicals personally, they’re all that matter.

    Idk if this has already been said for myths: meers and corncobs can’t be ghosted.

    Burping Jars?

    Never done it with tobacco as it’s already cured. They get fresh air exchange when I go to pack a bowl. Burping jars of the other stuff was done during the cure but now many growers use special bags which let gas/vapors out by itself, no burping required.

    Pipe Groups

    So I've tried looking through a few of the terminology stickies (and google) to find my answers but couldn't. Something I've run across all over the many pipe forums is people classifying their pipes in groups. What exactly is a "group 5" pipe? Context tells me it has to do with chamber size...

    GL PEASE, PLEASE

    Your Opinion Matters...

    That makes sense I'm guessing the true stem what connects the main rib to the stalk? Does the stalk of the whole plant get processed into things like snuff too? I've been picking out the little (ribs?) Only because they can be stiff and long which seem to hinder a consistent bowl pack like...
