Good day, all. As some of you know, I've had a fair few Brighams come across my bench and move out into the hands and rotations of folks across North America. Up until recently, I had held onto exactly one. Which, surprisingly, was one of the French made current era Chinooks. I've long lauded the older Canadian made pipes as a great deal on the estate market and solid value for money. But I hadn't yet run across the pipe that sang to me. Actually, that's not exactly the case. I have a friend who was looking for a specific Brigham Norseman which I found, coveted, but sent on in good faith. That pipe, went from Toronto, to Philly, to Kearney, Ontario before ending up on my rack. In the meantime, I found myself really attracted to Brigham's Author shape (which to me looks a little to Prince-esque to be an Author, but what the hell do i know). By happy accident, my friend who was selling the Norseman was also selling a 7 Dot Author. For those of you who aren't aware, the 7 dot pipes are the predecessor to today's Acadian line. Anyway, here they are, my two new additions.

Sweet! Just btw, is the precarb in the author red? Yep. The red clay coat was the standard bowl coating prior to moving production to France and Italy. In fact I had a new French Brigham Chinook a few years ago, and it also had a red clay coat. -- Pat

There's some serious grain on the first pipe, Pat. Congrats and enjoy.
