Briar or Rosewood? (Need Help)

[alexb94]

Hi to all fellow pipe smokers! I am new to this hobby,just started a few days ago.I ordered the pipe from the internet(wasnt specified the material) and recently read that you should avoid smoking from Rosewood pipes and that they emit a poisonous gas when heated. I was hoping if someone can determine what pipe wood is this? Thanks! The brand is called White Star Toscana.

White Star pipes are made of briar as far as I know.

White Star is a sub brand of the Danish Georg Jensen pipes and they're made of briar.

Good value for money; I have several and they are fine smokers.
