Brigham Algonquin Pipes

I feel compelled to comment on this pipe as it is a very unique concept. First, I will say that, in general, this is a well-made and nicely finished pipe. I particularly like the matte finish, which tends to hold up better than a glossy finish. So, this pipe has the unique maple "distillator" feature, which is intended to minimize moisture and bite. First, I will say that this pipe was unusually mellow to smoke right from the first bowl, and that has only gotten better since. My biggest question was whether this distillator would become burdensome, and, after getting a feel for it, it is not. I smoke this on average maybe three or four times a day (I rotate it with at least one other pipe), and, after a little experimentation, I find that it can easily handle that without any maintenance. And it definitely cuts down on moisture buildup and is generally a pleasure to smoke. Now, some reviewers complained about the distillator getting stuck in the stem or being difficult to put back in. Perhaps because I do not chain-smoke it, giving it a good rest between uses, I have not had that problem at all. And removing it and wiping it down and running a cleaner through it adds all of a minute or two to the cleaning routine, so no problem there. Spare distillators (the pipe comes with just one) are available cheaply on Amazon (surprisingly not sold here when I looked). I have rotated two of them for the month-or so I've had the pipe, and just today replaced them even though they were still apparently functional. Therefore, from my perspective, the cost, in both money and time, of maintaining this thing is negligible. I highly recommend this pipe!

Nothing fancy but very good quality and value for money! Love straight apples!

Excellent size, weight and balance.

It’s great!!

This pipe gives me as much enjoiment as many more expensive pipes have given me in the past. Pieter

Good pipe for the money

It’s a bit short, but I like the shape. Good pipe.

This pipe is simple yet has the right masculine feel when smoking the cherry tobacco or Captain Black’s tobacco. Great flow that allows full-bodied taste of the tobacco.

I really like the draw in the pipe and how it feels in my hand. Made me a Brigham believer. I’m already looking at what style I want next from them.

This is my second Brigham Pipe, the first being a Mountaineer. Both pipes are excellent and a pleasure to smoke. The maple filter absorbs moisture and does provide a better experience smoking. Sometimes you get way MORE than you paid for. Try the Brigham, put one in your collection and I'll wager it will not be your last.

Good pipe with a nice, smooth finish. Lighter than expected, pleasantly so. Tends to burn hot so a point off there but after a conscious effort is made to cultivate the right cake to prevent this I enjoy the pipe itself.

The bowl size is what originally attracted me, but the pipe itself provides a wonderfully smooth smoke. The long stem aerates the smoke nicely, and the design of the pipe in my hand just feels right. So glad I bought this,

Smokes great

Very good pipe.

Well made with good hand feel. Balanced and light not a jaw clencher. Only draw back it tends to burn hot. So a slow smoke to break in.

Just the right size, not heavy. Being a female it is hard to find a pipe that is perfect. This one is!

Good smoking pipe.

Smokes smooth.

Well built and finished well. Not sure about rock maple filter system, but smokes fine. A true bargain at the price point.

Good pipe and great value. It smokes nice and cool and just enough smoke with its unique filter system.

Best smoking pipe I ever bought

Well balanced pipe and good for a longer smoke. Also has a slight cut on the bottom, so the pipe can stand up right when set on a flat surface; nice feature!
