Well I say won but no one else bid on it. This will be my 2nd pipe, was gifted an old one. It's a meerschaum, carved like a pirate, with a green stem.

I read the tips on breaking it in, clean hands, hold by the stem... Was wondering if there is a preferred tobacco for getting it to color well? I picked up a couple of tins of Davidoff blends, Blue mix and Red mix. Should I use these in it?
Previously, having only the one pipe, I wasn't able to smoke that much. So, no experience with tobaccos really.
