If you actually watch the video before commenting she clearly states that the briar pipe is a hand carved pipe she got at a renaissance festival, and the meershaum pipe is made from meershaum which is a very porous mineral, she also states that you have to let the briar pipe rest a day between smokes whereas you can smoke a meershaum back to back. Her packing method is also spot on. You can tell she actually smokes a pipe which is cool, which is something you can tell most pipe babes actually don't.
