Brigham: Tundra (84) (Rock Maple Inserts) Tobacco Pipe

Brigham's "84" Volcano is a fairly traditional rendition of the classic shape, presenting with a stout bowl that tapers gradually from its firm, ridgeline-wrapped heel to its tauter rim. Said bowl is paired to a deeply bent shank-and-stem arrangement that promotes a comfortable smoking posture while keeping things looking gestural in profile. Though the bowl's height varies slightly across Brighman's various series, the core components of the "84" always remain the same, making it one of the most recognizable shapes in the Canadian marque's portfolio.

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.
