What is your take on briar left unstained? I don't own such a pipe as of yet...but just might...it dang pretty 8O

 

[thesmokindragon]

SWEET!

They get some great color after awhile! I like the look of the natural pipe but I hate the feel!

 

[unclearthur]

I have a few that were natural finished when I bought them 40 years ago. Now they have mellowed to a beautiful patina.

 

[pawpaw]

love to see a pic of them Uncle

 

[unclearthur]

OK three Granhill, Tinee pipes I bought over 40 years ago.

 

[pawpaw]

so in 40 years that will be close to the colour of the first pipe?

 

[unclearthur]

Depending on the porosity of the briar, how much it is handled and a few dozen other minor factors, yes.

 

[pawpaw]

sweet are un finished pipes less expensive?

 

[unclearthur]

Usually. I have seen unfinished Sav seconds at very reasonable prices.
