Alot of the guys on the pipe forum I frequent really love their Paronelli's but they aren't the colored ones but I assume the colored ones are also briar and would be good pipes as well. Only fear is if the paint/lacquer/stain doesn't allow the briar to breathe. If this happens then the pipe won't soak up the moisture when you are smoking and it will be a very wet smoke and have a higher potential to cause tongue bite, like you burned your tongue on hot food, its not fun haha.
