I’d imagine any bamboo could color over time as can briar but all my bamboo are lined with metal tube, I think I wouldn’t trust it without the lining and it might color much faster that without it? Just a guess.The bamboo stem on my Kiseru has coloured but it’s unlined and relatively thin.
Haha, full disclosure for you ....... I knew I forgot something when I put the pheasant roll in the oven and way too late realized I'd forgotten the egg wash! So, it turned out very tasty but not the golden, shellac finish - just not worthy, lol. As my daughter said, "you've made so many great meals over the years at Christmas, it's okay if one isn't." Of course, she didn't quite mean it the way it came out, but I enjoyed giving her a hard time about it every time she took a bite and told me how good it tasted. Love the holidays for kitchen/dinners/music/you name it - hope all here have a wonderful Christmas Eve day and evening!Damn! What time is dinner!?
I love it that your horses are into pipe smoking as well.I lied, I’ve got small tins with leftovers from the workweek that need to be smoked, so it’s Doblone d’Oro up first.View attachment 273356
