I'll probably be doing update pics every 20-25 bowls. Im a one bowl a day kinda guy so they won't be coming too quick, unfortunately.
If I had to guess, I'd call it translucent.
And I was a few pipes short of a pipe a day in this meer at 6 months. My cob I was also about a bowl a day for a year, and my Grabow averaged 3 bowls a day for a year.
Your pipe has more color on it now, than my Altinay did in 3 months.
Should be great to watch!
