Brigham 2022 Brigham Pipe of the Year celebrates the Rideau Canal in Ontario, marking the 15th anniversary of its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007. This historic canal, finished in 1832, links the Rideau and Cataraqui rivers, facilitating a direct waterway from Montréal to Kingston through Ottawa. Originating as a defensive measure against potential U.S. invasions post-War of 1812, the canal served to maintain Montreal's lifeline to the Kingston naval base, safeguarding a critical route for Britain's Canadian colony. Although its military purpose was never realized, the Rideau Canal played a vital role in bolstering shipping, trade, and settlement, standing today as the best-maintained example of a slackwater canal in North America. Its structures have largely remained unchanged, making it the continent's oldest operational canal system.
In winter, the canal transforms into the world's largest naturally frozen ice-skating rink, a beloved recreational site. The Brigham Pipe of the Year 2022 pays tribute to this cherished Canadian site with its Skater shape pipe, echoing the canal's winter tradition. Featuring a sleek design with a "Rideau" engraved metal band and a limited edition run of 125 serialized pieces, the pipe is a collector's item. It also includes a detailed tamper that features the Peace Tower from Ottawa's Parliament Hill, capturing the essence of the canal's scenic environment.
Continuing Brigham's tradition, this pipe incorporates the brand's patented Rock Maple Inserts, designed to enhance the smoking experience. These inserts, made from rock maple dowels with a 3.5mm airway and fitted with a metal cap, fit snugly in the pipe, facilitating easy removal. They efficiently filter smoke, removing moisture and impurities without affecting the flavor, thanks to the absence of chemicals or adhesives in their production. The inserts are also designed to allow for the passage of a pipe cleaner even when the pipe is assembled, helping to maintain cleanliness and reduce moisture buildup, thereby minimizing the occurrence of pipe gurgle.
