<blockquote><q>[[Mission Briar]] was a brand created during WW II, which disappeared soon afterwards. In 1941, due to the difficulty of importing brair, [[Kaufmann Bros. & Bondy]], through [[Kaywoodie]], and the [[Reiss-Premier Co.]], started making pipes out of Manzanita burls, known as "mission briar".<br />The [[Pacific Briarwood Company]], a [[Kaufmann Bros. & Bondy]] subsidiary, owned plantations of the bush in the Santa Cruz mountains in California. As the quality of the wood was not as good as [[briar]], the project was abandoned soon after the war.</q><ref>From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes</ref></blockquote> | |||
