Got to Admit though im feeling a little Cheated, Giving they were in Canada why haven't i seen for example a 1917 Vimy Ridge Edition? Unless it exists and i didn't know. Either way though this one is pretty cool.
I really like the look of Brigham pipes, and this one in particular is beautiful. Still a little hesitant to pull the trigger on a Brigham, but I have one about three or four down the PAD list. Anyone have experience with them? How do you like it?
algenib Brigham pipes are excellent i personally love these pipes great smokers however this one in particular is one of the really expensive ones and i wouldn't recommend spending that kind of money on a Brigham they are great just not 300$ great, you can buy a set for that amount if you look hard enough.
There are actually a few different 1812 pipes but I completely agree on a Vimy Ridge pipe or a Passchendaele one.
I like Brigham pipes. I do hesitate on the rock maple inserts, their unique filter system, only because it is one
more set of items to stockpile with the pipes. I've avoided 9mm filters despite many worthy pipes on that system.
The Dr. Grabow, Medico, and Savenelli balsa inserts are all interchangeable, I understand, so it is less of an issue,
and mostly I leave them out. But Brigham pipes have a commendable style, traditional, yet unique to the brand.
Sooner or later, I will likely own a Canadian pipe of some kind. I do enjoy having representatives from different
nations, with USA solidly represented, and my own state as well, along with England, Ireland, France, Italy, Greece,
Denmark, and ... who am I forgetting? I like the zulu/yacht shape and have two of them, including a fine old
Savenelli 404 that I bought unfinished, that has turned an amazing golden brown.

I was eyeballing that one yesterday. I ended up not pulling the trigger because I wasnt a huge fan of the blast/rustication on it for the price. I mean a rad davis pipe for another 1/3 of the price... I dunno. Maybe I'm crazy over here. I'll keep an eye out and see if they release one that is a bit more to my liking.
This is the second in a three part series covering their POTY offerings for 2012, 2013 and 2014. Each pipe is numbered and only 100 of each POTY will be made. This is the 2013 POTY. All three commemorate the War of 1812. The first was an 8 sided panel billiard: http://www.smokerings.ca/nanaimo-tobacconist/pipes/brigham/pipe-of-the-year-2012/brigham-pipe-of-the-year-2012-side/
I like them, and have been tempted, but for $350 or so I would rather be buying a bespoke piece from an artisan carver.
