My first pipe video - Squadron Leader

This is my first pipe video. I would like to get your opinions on how to store pipe tobacco, the best way to light your pipe, how to keep saliva out of bowl and stem while smoking. I also have an estate meerschaum pipe on the way from Ebay( my first and only meerschaum). I would like to know how can I clean the outside of the meerschaum bowl. There appears to be some scuffs and a ball point pen mark on it. Can I sand the outside of the bowl and then reapply a fresh coat of bees wax? what are some other great tasting English blends you guys like?
