This raises a side issue of the use of color on pipes. Looking at my own, I'd say every pipe cabinet/rack probably needs more color than it has. I have mixed feeling about color stains and solid finishes, but at least some color in the stems is a good idea at least with some pipes. I have a green stain billiard, four or five brighter lighter color stems, two Cumberland or faux stems, and now recently a bamboo shank (not exactly color, but a brighter color material). These Curvy pipes might fill the bill to break the black and brown dominance on pipe racks.
