That’s pretty cool. I never knew they kept the briar wet until it got to the cutter.

Man oh man. Great video. Like @ric03, it gives me a whole new level of respect for the people making pipes and for the pipe itself.

Great video.
I have bought briar from these guys a few times. I have a few blocks still laying around. I need to break out the pipe making equipment again someday.

I've got a couple blocks of Mimmo plateaux in my briar stash. They'll get turned into pipes this fall/winter.
