    Brigham pipe

    I have been curious about Bingham pipes for a long time. I actively hate breaking in pipes so I've surfed eBay. One of the first items shows a metal tube attached to the stem. Is this typical of Brigham pipes? Can this metal be removed? How does the metal insert work with Brigham's "Rock...

    Giving Peterson Some Love

    Luck me! I have yet to have a problem with any Peterson. I must admit, however, that most of my Petersons are estate pipes - used for years - as opposed to merely being second hand pipes which could have been deep sixed because of problems. I am currently awaiting two new, bent, p-lip...
