    Captain Browne Pipes

    I have seen them here and there and what interests me are those metal inserts at the bowl. Do they serve a purpose or is it just pure looks? I tried looking them up but came find any information on them. Can some educate me on these pipes?

    I had three pipes that I wanted new stems for so I contacted Ken. I told him that he had complete artistic freedom to whatever to do whatever he thought was best. The only thing I wanted was a white stem for my bent bulldog. The stems are amazing. It took only four days for him to contact me...
