[QUOTE="sisyphus, post: 336879, member: 2514"] with natural stained pipes it's all up to the chunk of briar how they color. I have natural stained pipes that darkened just a little but still look pretty much as they did originally, but I also have a natural stain pipe that looked like it was going to burnout after only a few bowls due to some unseen porous spot on the bowl. Drove me nuts until I realized it wasn't my fault, but it still bugs me because I love that pipe and it looks like crap with a big dark spot on one side of the bowl. Depending on the grain of the piece, what you will usually see with natural pipes is a darkening of the natural grain. If anything smoking these pipes generally improves their appearance, provided you're not a hot smoker. [/QUOTE]
