About to fire this one up!!! I'll do my best to keep track of the Bowl count. I'll have to see how it goes but the plan is to post a new picture monthly of the coloring.
My First Altinay / Coloring progression

Fantastic. This will be a satisfying project. Try to weigh the pipe periodically as well, if you can
Nice choice...I'm a big fan of Altinay...don't think you can get a better meer.
Enjoy...look forward to seeing the progression.

Subscribed! That's a beauty! Should color nicely for ya!
I don't have a set of scales to check the weight with.

I must say that ALTINAY has a new loyal customer. This is the lightest meer I have and it smokes wonderfully.
Looks like great meerschaum. Enjoy your smokes and the coloring process.
Ok guys I'm 25 bowls in I have decide to post coloring updates every 25 bowls.
It is coloring faster than any meer I have so far don't want to jinx it but i think by the end of the year it should be pretty dark.
I used to keep track of the number of smokes in my meerschaums, but I gave up on that years ago. It got to be to hard to keep track of each of my pipes, so I gave up on that. Good luck on your journey, and Happy smokes!
Bowl number 50 is actually being smoke in it now. It was packed and chard in this photo.I'll post more angles after i finish this bowl.
This project is one I undertook years ago. For me it was an exercise in futility. Just couldn't get the damn thing to color.
I have had little luck in this, but I love to see it come to fruition for others...
Congrats on a great start! Keep us updated.

Everything right this second its Capstan "blue" mostly I've been smoking the local B&Ms house blend it's really close to lane 1-Q but not exactly the same.it's coming along nicely fella, whatcha smoking in her?
What a beautiful pipe, and LOVE the experiment. Thanks for posting with a clear count, I am very interested in seeing the progress over time. I am surprised by the amount of coloring already at 50.
