Brigham: Acadian (65) (Rock Maple Inserts) Tobacco Pipe

Brigham's "65" bent Billiard is a fine example of the Canadian marque's robust interpretations of traditional shapes, and its exact characteristics change depending on the series in which it's offered. Sometimes, the bowl has a more rounded, Acorn-like quality with a more stretched silhouette, while other versions feature a more tight-knit bend. Still other iterations offer a more traditionally cylindrical Billiard bowl, making for a diverse range of styles depending on individual preferences.

The Acadian series is named after the descendants of the French who settled in the Acadia colony in the 17th and 18th centuries. Acadia, at that time, comprised modern day New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island, but over the course of many centuries, the Acadian people migrated throughout North America. Honoring the Acadian people and their rich heritage, Brigham's Acadian series offers a number of their most recognizable shapes in a warm, grain-defining smooth finish.

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.
