Daq Services Just a little History and BackgroundThe briar is a bush that grows in all forests of the Mediterranean area, from Greece to Algeria including Italy, France, Spain and Morocco. This bush develops a ball-like root, which is cut in blocks (plateau and ebauchons). After curing and drying, the pipe makers will transform these briar blocks into pipes.
