Detailed introduction to briar pipes; in today's world, briar pipes are the most common, and everyone who calls themselves a smoker has a few, which are a must-have at home and a good item to show off when going out. Briar is almost synonymous with pipes, causing many newcomers to only look at briar and not know anything else.

Briar is mainly found on hillsides and rock walls in the Mediterranean region and grows extremely slowly. Take the nodule part buried deep in the ground and located between the roots and stems. The history of briar pipe making can be traced back to 1850 in the Saint-Claude region of France. To this day, the Saint-Claude district remains one of the world's important centers for the manufacture of briar pipes. In addition to its advantages of being strong and durable, having fine wood, and beautiful wood grains, the most valuable thing about heather root is that it has countless "holes" that are invisible to the naked eye, which is very helpful in dissipating water vapor and heat when tobacco is burned, and also determines the Its light weight characteristics. The surface layer of heather roots will be charred and carbonized, but they themselves are extremely difficult to burn. In addition, this wood has only a very slight impact on the flavor of tobacco.

Heather roots get better with age.

First of all, the wood grain of old roots is finer and clearer, which is naturally more beautiful. In addition, there are more pores, so the weight is lighter, and the burden on the mouth is also reduced. (Of course, the lighter the pipe, the better. If it is too light, it will lose its "texture" and lose its appeal.) . Finally, because the old root has a dense and porous texture, it naturally has better heat resistance and heat dissipation. In addition to being less likely to burn your tongue, it also enhances the flavor of tobacco that pays attention to low-temperature combustion.
