[QUOTE="smoker13, post: 450265, member: 3962"] Well, I found some members who agreed with me when I posted my pet peeve about coated bowls, and plenty more who voted the opposite way, and still some who didn't care one way or another. But the one thing all of the posts had in common were they were interesting to read. Well here goes, I'm firing away with another one of my pet peeves, I was just reminded of how much I disliked and just plain couldn't understand: WHITE STEMS. I mean, a pipe craftsman presents a beautifully worked briar shape and the fluidity, the whole motion of the piece just stops dead when it hits that white stem. To me, the pipe just doesn't seem to move as a unified piece. It's an immediate dealbreaker. No matter how much I love the bowl and shank, I will not purchase a pipe with a white stem, period. So what say ye, fellow pipesmokers and pipe purchasers - does the white stem bother you as much as it does me? [/QUOTE]
