[QUOTE="shootist51, post: 216697, member: 90"] It seems, to me, that there are much more choices in stained finished pipes than in un-stained. This may be due to the increasing rarity of flawless briar or, maybe, consumer preference, I don't know. I like the feel of a rusticated bowl, but also like the looks of grain in a smooth finish. I also like an unstained bowl for the coloring it acquires over the years of enjoyment. My "collection" runs about 50/50 stained to unstained, and several of my old Charatans that were very light colored at purchase are now almost black! [/QUOTE]
