I failed to mention earlier that all of the wooden pipe bowls I've shown on the metal pipes I've been keeping smokey are not all briar, one was Walnut, another was Mahogany, two I had no idea but since they didn't impart any unusual flavor my best guess was they were some type of fruit wood. This next pipe should come with a warning as the bowl is Rosewood and I know of folks that have allergic reactions to handling Rosewood or inhaling dust from cutting it so I can only imagine ingesting vapors of it could cause a serious reaction.
Luckily for me I don't suffer any reaction from Rosewood, however, l found breaking it in to be quite harsh and not pleasant tasting, now that a cake has formed I do smoke it on occasion.
Brebbia is the maker and no stranger to metal pipes as I found they made several variations over the years but none as strange as this one which looks like a lightbulb with a shank running through it. Still keeping it smokey with some Chenet's Cake.
