So I have 3 meerschaum pipes, my new Strambach bent billiard, my Turkish bent billiard and a small Bacchus. I've had the small Bacchus for about 3.5-4 years and was previously lightly smoked by another individual (not much color), and my Turkish one I've had for about 2.5 years which was previously unsmoked. The Turkish bent billiard hasn't really colored well (don't smoke it enough), and I rarely smoke the Bacchus so it doesn't have much coloring either. Since purchasing my new meerschaum I've decided to step up my meerschaum smoking a bit to help with the coloring of the pipes, but I thought I would try waxing them to see if that helps too. I've never waxed any of my meerschaums, but I know some people say it helps and others say it doesn't. Of course there is the variables of the quality of the meerschaum itself that affect the coloring of the pipe too. Now I've read multiple threads and watched multiple YT videos on the subject of waxing a meerschaum. From what I've seen there are multiple ways to do it (dip in wax, wipe on wax etc.), and different beeswax you can use. So I'm just trying to gather a consensus from the meerschaum smokers as to what method each use to wax their pipes and what type of beeswax you use (brown, yellow or white beeswax)? I have a block of natural (yellow) beeswax and I have a bag of white beeswax pellets.
