Brigham: Klondike (19) (Rock Maple Inserts) Tobacco Pipe

Brigham's shaping style caters to traditional English and French standards of design and proportion, the Canadian marque's "19" shape beautifully adhering to the classic Canadian archetype. The Billiard bowl is slender and upright, lent a poised posture on the end of a particularly long, oval shank and an abbreviated, tapered stem. It's the perfect pipe for lovers of classic pipe design, made all the more so by the Klondike line's smooth, walnut stain, and benefits further from Brigham's Rock Maple Inserts.

Like all of Brigham's lineup, this pipe also comes complete with the marque's signature Rock Maple Inserts. A rock maple dowel is drilled with a 3.5mm airway and pressure-fitted with a special metal cap that allows it to fit securely within the pipe while also being easily removable. The dowel is able to take the smoke from the bowl and pass it through the shank and a large section of the stem, removing moisture and unpleasant flavors that develop during the smoking process. No chemicals or adhesives are used to manufacture the rock maple inserts, ensuring it remains flavor-neutral. And because of the drilling, a rock maple insert is able to pass a pipe cleaner, even while the pipe is still assembled. The insert's design also helps prevent moisture from traveling back into the bowl or up the stem, helping to reduce pipe gurgle in the process.
