Brigham: Tundra (09) (Rock Maple Inserts) Tobacco Pipe

A sleek and svelte straight Apple from Brigham, this "09" features a plump bowl balanced on the end of streamlined shank-and-stem combination. With a wide transition, firm heel, and definite muscular appeal, this pipe comes dressed in Brigham's Tundra finish. Pairing a chestnut sandblast with a black stem and trim brass ring around the shank end, this pipe possesses a definite elegance.

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.
