Some members here have some beautifully colored Meers. Some of them are so dark I imagine the meerschaum is completely saturated with oils, they really are stunning.

Thank you! That's got to be the definitive answer....
Yep, and when that happens, the pipe will have put on substantial weight. Possibly up to twice what she weighed as a virgin.
That happens to wives also ?
@chasingembers is as usual absolutely correct. Coloring bowls have to be one of the stupidest things I have ever seen. It sort of turns your pipe into a calabash. The trick is the old silver coin/button or even a Philt Pad or the meerschaum made equivalent and then smoke the hell out of the pipe. You have all seen the many pictures of pipes that have been colored by me. All it takes is a certain commitment and away you go. I must say in closing that the older meerschaums seem to color better than the modern specimens for some reason.
I don't think that would end well for you Dan. Best stick with the clay pipes.
@condorlover1 One last question for you - what do you think I should smoke in my clay pipes at re-enactments?
Finished my packet of Condor now; I've re-used the empty packet for storing a clay pipe as it's just the right size!
Man it went down well!
I think all that Condor smoke is accelerating climate change
I suppose my lungs will start clearing out all that pipe baccy now!

I saw a one man play of Father Damien in '95, and he (the actor) actually smoked his pipe in the theatre, and it smelled of cherry cavendish which was a nice touch, but not perfect because there's no way Damien would have had that sort of tobacco.@condorlover1 One last question for you - what do you think I should smoke in my clay pipes at re-enactments?

But, while he may have slightly displeased me, if he had been smoking something more accurate like Semois, many more people would have been even more displeased.
Straight Virginias would be ok for any period or so I would guess.
What’s with the plug? Was it originally a drainage whole or did they just drill straight through and plug it?
Looks to have been some sort of system pipe.
I had that impression too.
Nah, dug it up from an old forum discussion. I wouldn't own a rhodesian or bulldog.
I think I vaguely remember that now.
My first Meer should be waiting on my front porch right now, I can’t wait to get home and start breaking her in. I’ve wanted a poker style pipe and a Meer and saw this which got both birds with one stone or chunk of meer.
