Brier Root Pipe Trade Traced From Calabria to Leghorn
Our vice consul in Leghorn notes a London News report explaining that brier pipes use Erica arborea root not actual brier rose. The industry, dating fifty years, travels from the Pyrenees through the Riviera to Calabria, with Leghorn as a major export center. Italian root blocks are cut into sizes and shapes for pipe manufacture, shipped mainly to the United States, with limited or no British demand.
