Brigham Canadian Era 3 Dot Sandblasted Bulldog Estate Briar Pipe, Canadian Estates
Out of stock
Description
Brigham is Canada’s oldest extant pipe company, having been founded in 1906 by Roy Brigham. It is also (to my knowledge, at least) the only Canadian pipe brand to have had a whole book written about its history. Throughout that history, pipe makers who got their start in the industry have included Philip Trypis and Julius Vesz. Today, the pipes are best known for their distinct system for mitigating tongue bite, the Rock Maple Distillator. Essentially a long filter made from aluminum and rock maple wood, these filters were (and continue to be) marketed as a means of reducing tongue bite by absorbing moisture produced through use, while not restricting the draw of the pipe.
This Brigham is a three dot grade bulldog sporting a partial sandblast. Based on the stamping, it is an older, Canadian-made Brigham, rather than a contemporary, Italian-made one.
The condition is good. Some inner rim darkening and slight scratches around the bowl.
