Hey guys.
My Valentine's Day gift from the wife arrived at my office today. It is my first meerschaum pipe.
Is there anything in particular I need to know about it? Is maintenance that different?

We ordered it from royalmeerschaumpipes.com.
I did make sure it was 100% solid block meerschaum before getting it.

I love the way it looks and can't wait to smoke it.

Any tips on them from you experienced guys would be appreciated.

Here is what she looks like.
