Now I am confused

Please take a look at this pipe:

pipe.

It says it is a rose wood briar pipe. So what is it? Rose wood? Briar? or can it be both?

Seems the seller doesn't understand that briar is a variety of wood, not a variety of pipe.

Did anyone tried these Rohan pipes?

Rosewood is a Brazilian hardwood. I have some recorders made from rosewood and they have a beautiful reddish brown grain which I don't see in that picture. I suspect the pipe is made of some sort of sawdust and resin. I'd be wary.

just my personal understanding, its a rosewood. seller doesn't know much about pipes

Hmmm..... Too bad. There are some nice pipe from Rohan on eBay, but I guess I wont risk it. Too bad also becuse finally something I won't have to pay shippment for since they are from Israel :D .
