Brigham: Algonquin (263) (Rock Maple Inserts) Tobacco Pipe

One of Brigham's unique takes on the Acorn shape, the "63" is a strikingly vertical iteration of the modern classic shape, complete with a plump, forward-canting bowl. This bowl flares out to a rounded rim as it rises atop a flattened heel that's centered nearer to the fore and lifts up to a tapering stretch of shank and stem. This combination rises quite tall, making this piece an ideal jaw-hanger.

The Algonquin series draws inspiration from Canada's Algonquin Provincial Park and the calming serenity of nature. Using Brigham's highest-quality briar, the Algonquin series dresses pipes in a vivid chestnut smooth finish, showcasing a fetching array of grain. Offered in 12 different shapes, the Algonquin series exudes traditional appeal, and each pipe would make a fine addition to any smoker's regular rotation.

Like all of Brigham's lineup, this pipe also comes complete with the marque's signature Rock Maple Insert. This special insert comprises a rock maple dowel drilled with a 3.5mm airway and pressure-fitted in the tenon via a special metal cap, helping to remove moisture and unpleasant flavors that develop during the smoking process. No chemicals or adhesives are used to manufacture Brigham's Rock Maple Inserts, ensuring a flavor-neutral profile that doesn't interfere with the tobacco. Moreover, because of the drilling, the Rock Maple Insert is able to pass a pipe cleaner, even while the pipe is still assembled.
