What difference does it make if a pipe is waxed or painted? What is better?

We do not varnish pipes. Different colours are made by staining.
The problem with lacquer: When the pipe is heated during smoking, the wood expands and the lacquer can blow bubbles. That is why our pipes are waxed. I generally advise against painted/varnished tobacco pipes.
