Brigham: Tundra (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.

Brigham's Tundra series takes inspiration from its eponymous region, the Canadian marque capturing the frigid landscape's palette of light and dark hues through a contrast-rich sandblast. The finish reveals handsome grain throughout, its striking stain defining the grain patterns well and contrasted by the smooth rim. Additionally, the shank is accented by a band of brass for a touch of refinement, while a jet-black stem keeps the composition timeless.

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.
