^ That skull is what Embers calls a clencher. For hiking, gardening, and general lunting.

NopeDo we know what became of that massive block of meer?
Where did you get the pic?
No doubt.I'm assuming it got cut up to make several pipes from.
Nah, thats probably Embers next commission. He is sick of these tiny pipes like his skull... those are for babies.^ That skull is what Embers calls a clencher. For hiking, gardening, and general lunting.

No, it was a Fleabay purchase. It was well colored when I received it, but it has continued to deepen in color. Judging from the orifice stem it is around 100 years old.Have you owned it since new?
You don't want to know what these guys have been doing.Another thing to keep in mind is that 100 years ago, meerschaum pipes were coated with sperm whale oil instead of beeswax - that would also make a difference in how they color.
And we're off! A filter plug of tobacco under a 3/8 sterling silver washers will remain in place for the next several smokes.

Or how they've been doing it...You don't want to know what these guys have been doing.
Depends, how dedicated are you, really, to authentic meerschaum coloring??? This separates the dilettantes from the “real” pipe smokers.So to get the authentic meerschaum coloring you are suggesting I have to give a 'hand party' to a fecking Whale at my local aquarium? How does that work?
Same way you do on Bourbon Street, avoid those with adams apples.How do you tell boy and girl whales apart?
You just need to brain one and collect the drippings. One whale ought to be enough for all your pipes, but I'd bash two just to be on the safe side.So to get the authentic meerschaum coloring you are suggesting I have to give a 'hand party' to a fecking whale at my local aquarium? How does that work?
I don't know what time zone you are in, but it's only 1pm where I am man....is it after 5 there??So to get the authentic meerschaum coloring you are suggesting I have to give a 'hand party' to a fecking whale at my local aquarium? How does that work?
I believe the proper terminology is Queequeg Melon for whales.Same way you do on Bourbon Street, avoid those with adams apples.
