System Red Rusticated (22) (Rock Maple Inserts) Tobacco Pipe

A straightforward and utilitarian rendition of the shape from the Canadian marque, this "22" Poker from Brigham is a classic iteration of the time-honored silhouette. Complete with a cylindrical bowl and an arrow-straight shank and stem, this pipe is ruggedly charming, its gavel-like outline lending it a muscular, stolid aesthetic. The transition here is mid-set on the bowl, with the comparatively sleek shank and stem contrasting the bowl's stout demeanor.

Brigham's System series comprises two different finishes, both of which are united by their deceptive simplicity and rugged wealth of texture. The first of these finishes is a craggy rustication, and the other is a crisp sandblast that showcases the briar's natural grain. Both are unified by jet-black stems and a simple style, presenting the pipes they dress in classic palettes that suit their hard-working, pastoral appeal.

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.

Note: While all of our other pipes are photographed individually, these are not, and you may expect some reasonable cosmetic variation between the example we've photographed and the pipe you've received.
