[QUOTE="MisterE, post: 147092, member: 820"] Yes, if you hold it with your fingertips while it´s hot it can stain the bowl. Especially while it´s hot. The oil from your sweat will get soaked up by the bowl and can discolor it over time. You can use a glove, or a cloth to hold it- but that is about as ridiculous as holding it by the stem. I know the Hacker book makes a big deal of this... This is only if the appearance of the pipe is of utmost importance. You don´t [i]have[/i] to do that. You can just smoke it like any other pipe and it will discolor a little as part of regular use. It´ll have character then- YOUR character. The only drawback is that it might not fetch the same price on ebay later.... :lol: [/QUOTE]
