I'm going to try 4noggins next time. I'll see if that makes a difference.

Ok all this is an update. I have received all packages now. My most recent purchase (order place Jan 21) where I selected priority mail came first. The package contained 1 Brigham Heritage pipe, 5 Arturo Fuente cigars, 5 Oliva cigars, 1 50g tin of Dunhill Nightcap, and a pack of rock maple...

I placed two separate orders that were shipped out on the 15th. I am in Ontario and as of today still nothing in the mail. My first order arrived within 5 business days (not counting the day shipped). Anyone else experience this kind of delay? I also paid more (USPS Priority International) for...

Great. Thanks so much for your detailed account of the Brigham Heritage series!! Why do they make the higher grade pipes in France? What's the difference between making them in Italy vs France?

I got a pack of RM filters, too. :P

Thank you all of you! I bought this pipe 2 days ago and looking forward to its arrival in the coming days. https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/Brigham/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=252091 Ontariopiper, wouldn't I have to remove the rock maple filter to clean the inside of the stem?

Hey dudes, Just curious. What is the min cooling period for briars before I can remove the stem and clean it properly?
