Thanks man. I didn’t spend a lot for this pipe, but it was the first Briar I have owned and logged quite a few miles with me.Just chiming in and echoing what's been said, but that is a repair that is easily and permanently fixable by a pro at moderate cost. When the bowl cracks, that is more often the beginning of the end for a pipe.
Already talking to someone about repair from this thread.
but thanks for your thoughts and hope for rescuing the pipe. I packed a bowl of some local blend I picked up in this pipe up on Katyhadin.
was a Good Day.
