Black Clay Pipes

How are the black clay pipes different from the white version of the pipes?

These pipes undergo an extra smoking process where wood chips are placed with the pipes inside a metal container. The container with the pipes and wood shavings is placed on a fire. Inside the metal box the wood chips begin to smoke, but do not burn. Over several hours of smoking the pipes which were originally white are transformed into black pipes.
