 Briar Pipes - Tobacco Pipes - Smoking Pipe - Falcon - Butz-Choquin
A briar pipe begins as a Burl (or growth) on the root system of the White Heath Tree, a squat, hearty, shrub-like plant which grows primarily in the dry, arid, rocky wastelands around the Mediterranean Sea.
Of all woods, the Briar Burl is unique for making pipes; its tough, porous and nearly impervious to heat.
As the heat from the flame comes in contact with the tobacco the tobacco will expand up towards the top of the bowl so grab your tamper and apply pressure to the smoldering tobacco, but don¹t stop puffing.

 Bob Moog, 1934-2005
Sensing a larger market, Moog took the most requested modules from his large modular systems and put them and a small keyboard into an easy-to-use package that didn't require patch cords or programming knowledge — creating the Minimoog, which was unveiled at AES in 1970.
In 1977, Moog left Moog Music to form Big Briar and later served as VP of new product research at Kurzweil Music Systems from 1984 through 1989.
In 2003, Moog reclaimed the rights to use the Moog Music and Minimoog trademarks and changed the name of Big Briar to Moog Music Inc. During the years, the accolades for Moog were many, including the TEC Hall of Fame (1992) and a Technical Grammy Award in 2002.

 Big Briar Moogerfooger CP-251 Control Processor Review
Moogerfooger CP-251 Control Processor Thanks to their voltage control-capabilities, the effects of Big Briar's Moogerfooger line blur the distinction between traditional floor-bound stomp boxes and analog synthesizer modules.
As the name suggests, the CP-251 works with control voltages rather than audio signals, and Big Briar cleverly housed eight independent control processors in one small box.
Although the Big Briar CP-251 is priced in line with most single-process analog-synthesizer modules, it's a true bargain when you consider the amount of processing power it gives you.
