Brigham: Voyageur (147) (Rock Maple Inserts) Tobacco Pipe

One of Brigham's more deeply bent Dublin designs, the Canadian marque's "47" presents with a sweeping curvature through the shank and stem, both ebbing out of a rather tight transition that still maintains enough space to drape a digit. The shank tapers into a similarly tapering stretch of demurely curved stem, the combination here offering a comfortable smoking posture and potential for jaw-hanging. The bowl sits atop a pronounced, pointed heel and showcases a steady flare out to a broad rim, its classic lines balancing the shank and stem well.

Brigham's Voyageur series is a celebration of the natural wonders of the Canadian wilderness. Fittingly, the Voyageur series features an organic rustication, dressing each pipe in a dark stain and a rugged texture. Consisting of 12 shapes and offered at an attractive, everyday price, the Voyageur series is ideal for those who want to explore Brigham's catalog.

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.
