Brigham: Algonquin (265) (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 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.
