My New Brigham

[Donb1972]

I have wanted to try a Brigham for a while, so I picked this one up. Yes it is their bottom rung line...so bottom rung it doesn't even have an adventurous name and is just called System Sandblasted(not as flashy as Voyageur or Tundra, granted ?). But in looking at what was offered for sale, I really did like this finish more than the others. It reminds me of sandstone formations I would often see in Arizona.

I like the shape and finish too. I've avoided Brigham because of the rock maple inserts, but I guess they smoke well enough without those. Extra doo-dads just cause clutter and bother in my mind, but that's just me. I wanted a Brigham in years past as a Canadian-made pipe, but I believe they are made in Italy these days. It is a handsome pipe, and a sitter, which always scores a lot of extra points. It looks like it has an ample chamber as well.

Looks like a great pipe!

Great looking pipe. I have well over 30 Brighams and have yet to come across a dud. Enjoy in good health

Lower tier is made in Italy. The upper tier pipes are made in France.

Pipe making is a global industry now. It's hard to keep track. Jobey started in France, moved to England, moved to the U.S., and now is back in France, last I heard. I think Nording sources from several countries. You need one of these satellite tracking maps to keep track.

fun fact it kind of doesn't matter where they sit when carving the pipe.

I also avoided Brigham's because of the system, but I finally just gave in. I love the look and the shape, so I just went for it. And this one is made in Italy, yes.

Thanks! I've been curious about Brigham's for a while. It's good to know they are so reliable!

My Brigham arrived today. I loaded it up with some St Bruno, and gave it a whirl. At first, it seemed like the distillator restricted the draw a little(though I may have just been imagining that), but as I smoked, it seemed fine. It's a good smoker, looks good, feels good in my hand.

I'm glad I finally gave a Brigham a shot!

Nice looking pipe. Congrats.

Not that I'm anyone to listen to, but I've always thought that Brighams are overlooked and underrated by many. A really solid smoker for the price

Great looking pipe! Not really a Volcano shape, but similar. I like the finish as well.
Enjoy!
