[QUOTE="BriarPipeNYC, post: 515665, member: 4199"] I think "patina" on a pipe is just part of the natural smoking and handling process, no matter what causes it. It adds character, and to me, it looks great. It shows that there's a reason that a pipe is well used. "Pristine" pipes, (other than a brand new pipe) give me the creeps....and I have to ask myself....why isn't this pipe smoked, and just how fastidious is the owner.....? However, even the caked up, clogged, dented, burnt, scratched up, pipes tell a their own story. Maybe the owner used them while working, and couldn't care for them, or treat them more gently. He enjoyed them, bottom line. Pipes are, after all, just objects of utility, and in the end, were made to be used and to be smoked. Patina matters. Frank NYC [/QUOTE]
