Do you have a preference for finishes on your pipes? Some collectors pursue only smooth pipes, others deep craggy blasts, while some enjoy a nice rusticated look. Maybe you don't care


I personally enjoy a sandblast finish. For me, it's the best of both worlds. I get to see what the grain is doing but don't have to baby it like a smooth pipe. I do have some smooths and some rusticated pipes but my preference is blasted.
