Meerschaum question.

Repurposed as a tamper? That’s what I was going to see if that one could be used for I think.

No, I have a meer tamper already which I love. That wouldn't be a bad idea though, as I like my 8deco tamper, which leaves a mound as it tamps instead of flat. I just don't use my meer cigarette holder for pipe tobacco or cigarettes. ?

Yes, the water and finger test work fine particularly if you add saliva to the water.

I knew there was something I liked about you.

if you go on eBay you can see some that are almost translucent, fully saturated

Some of those have been artificially colored.

I always wondered about that, it seems like that would take a really long time to do naturally.

This was done in three months.

Well, it’s cracked along the shank after the first half bowl so it might be meerschaum but it’s not good quality meerschaum ?‍

We live and learn.
