Here is my new Brigham pipe. I am excited cause it is my first non-drug store, not that my Dr Grabow has been a bad experience. It has the maple filter that us suppose to wick the moisture out if the smoke making a dryer cooler smoke with out tounge bite. It does seem to smoke significantly dryer and feels better in my hand. It has a very solid feel to it and the filter and stem has a close clearance to the pipe making a tight fir. Even though it is only a one dot the appearance if the briar is very nice.
