If you had to choose between these equally medium price pipes which one you would go for, my undestanding is that Parker Bruyere (with light brown smooth finish)are today produces somewhere in France,and as expected have removable stringers and somewhat more restricted airflow/drill in comparition with peterson, at least this is how some reviewers were saying)I wonder what would be the quality of briar used in these Parkers of Today and if it has glossy lacquier finish opposite to Peterson.
