System Red Rusticated (63) (Rock Maple Inserts)

One of Brigham's unique takes on the Acorn shape, the "63" is a strikingly vertical iteration of the modern classic shape, complete with a plump, forward-canting bowl. This bowl flares out to a rounded rim as it sits atop a flattened heel that's centered nearer to the fore and lifts up to a tapering stretch of shank and stem. This combination rises quite tall, and it's balanced well enough to allow this pipe to sit, making for an ideal desk pipe that doubles as a jaw-hanger.

Brigham's System series comprises two different finishes, both of which are united by their deceptive simplicity and rugged wealth of texture. The first of these finishes is a craggy rustication, and the other is a crisp sandblast that showcases the briar's natural grain. Both are unified by jet-black stems and a simple style, presenting the pipes they dress in classic palettes that suit their hard-working, pastoral appeal.

Like all of Brigham's lineup, this pipe also comes complete with the marque's signature Rock Maple Insert. This special insert comprises a rock maple dowel drilled with a 3.5mm airway and pressure-fitted in the tenon via a special metal cap, helping to remove moisture and unpleasant flavors that develop during the smoking process. No chemicals or adhesives are used to manufacture Brigham's Rock Maple Inserts, ensuring a flavor-neutral profile that doesn't interfere with the tobacco. Moreover, because of the drilling, the Rock Maple Insert is able to pass a pipe cleaner, even while the pipe is still assembled.
