      Excellent but that skull is just plain weird - are you sure it is a meerschaum?
      I'm sure there are greater things in life than a fine cigar ........... but right now I can't think what they might be.

          Yeah, meerschaum does that. It's not actually clay, it's a hydrous form of magnesium silicate. The more you smoke them, the darker they get. Some rich people (eg. middle eastern princes) actually employ people to smoke them sometimes to achieve a perfect colour. Bare hands touching the meer when going for colour is a no-no (oils in the skin affect/mar the colour) and waxing with beeswax helps develop the colours. Colours themselves depend on the type of baccy being smoked.

            This pipe was mine until I sold it ? it's too big a pipe for me.

            I bought it from a friend who had carefully waxed it several times.

              Nice! First time I've never seen a "Cream Puff" Horn before. Like the Old Boy lighter - I've got one too
