What is a Briar Pipe?
A briar pipe is a pipe which has been carved from briar, a special sort of wood which is ideally suited to the manufacture of pipes. Many people think of a briar pipe as the quintessential wood pipe, and numerous companies manufacture briar pipes for consumers, using both traditional hand carving techniques and mechanized mass production methods. Most tobacconists and pipe stores carry briar pipes, often in a selection of shapes and sizes.
