Filters & Adaptors: Brigham Rock Maple Inserts (8 Pack)

Product Number: 001-545-0010

Beginning in 1937, Roy and Herb Brigham sought a way to eliminate tongue-bite, and coming to the conclusion that it was caused not by heat alone, but also by acids and tars in the smoke itself, sought to discover the perfect material for a smooth-drawing, unobtrusive, yet effective filter. After considerable experimentation they came up with two ideal materials - bamboo, and, much more readily available, rock maple.

With your Brigham pipe the filter can be used approximately 20-30 times with a dark brown filter indicating that its time to replace it (see below) and can also be cleaned, dried and re-used in a pinch. The rock maple filter uses no adhesives and can pass a pipe cleaner.

Product: Filters & Adaptors Brigham Rock Maple Inserts (8 Pack)

I find myself reaching for my Brigham pipes more than anything else. They always smoke well, the proportions are ideal (for me), comfortable in hand and have strong visual appeal and quality. These “filters” do work for the intended purpose, which is absorbing excess moisture and maybe some of the nastier impurities from the smoke. They do not reduce flavor and a single filter will last quite a while. I highly recommend these and Brigham pipes....Read More

Excellent Filters

Filters are nicely made and help with getting a dry cool smoke.

Great filter system

Product: Filters & Adaptors Brigham Rock Maple Inserts (8 Pack)

I usually don't smoke filtered pipes, but I got a Brigham pipe on a whim. These filters work great - moisture is soaked up, they last pretty long, and the draw is just right on the pipe. In fact, I prefer this to the Savinelli balsa system (I love Savinellis, I just smoke them without a filter)....Read More

Fantastic Filters!

I bought these along with a beautiful Brigham Mountaineer estate pipe and can't recommend them highly enough. As someone who likes the Savinelli balsa system, these do as good of a job at giving a nice and dry smoke without killing flavour.

They work great!

Product: Filters & Adaptors Brigham Rock Maple Inserts (8 Pack)

Works great in all of the pipes I have tried them in, from multiple cobs to a couple 9mm cheap estate pipe I use to test new tobaccos. I did have to get creative with the 9mm (trim it and jam it) but it works great no less! No complaints what so ever, they absorb alot of moisture from aromatics, cuts down on some arbitrary gurgling and it hasnt noticeably effected the taste of any tobacco ive tried. Slightly less nic and considerably smoother, dryer smoke. These are now the only filters I will be using....Read More

Not as expected

December 04, 2020

Product: Filters & Adaptors Brigham Rock Maple Inserts (8 Pack)

I have read about Brigham filters and I decided to try one of their pipes. It works as they say but it doen't last as I see on the explanation. Maybe I charge my pipe too much or maybe their statistics are made on small chamber pipes. I have no idea if this depend also from the type and humidity of the tobacco. In any case I think that, once finished the filters, I will try smoking the pipe without and see what happens....Read More

Works as intended

Good system. Pipes are apparently not as good as they used to be but I like mine all the same. You do not need to use this filter system if you do not want to, it’s up to you.

Cool and dry

Just the ticket to keep your Brigham pipe cool and dry smoking make sure you let the filter dry completely before smoking again. I don’t find it strict the flow much every pipe smokes differently but I don’t feel has though this filter hinders the draw.

Restricts the draw

The inside diameter of the insert is too small.Needs to be same as a normal smoke channel.I think the Savinelli balsa system is better.The Brigham pipe seems to be a solid,well made utensil,however.
