Chris Morgan Signature Smooth Bent Apple Handmade Briar Pipe, New

Description

Chris Morgan is an American artisan pipe-maker based in California. Beginning his pipe-making career in 2006, Morgan has managed to carve a distinct niche for himself in the contemporary pipe scene – or, rather, many niches. Morgan creates high-grade pipes both as part of his Signature line and as part of his Workshop line, which is a collaborative effort between himself and Montana artisan Sean Reum. Morgan is also responsible for the Blackjack and Briar Cigar pipe series, the latter coming from a partnership with Italian artisan and briar cutter Mimmo Romeo. Finally, as the creator of the rough and rugged Bones series, Morgan has become even more of a cult figure in the pipe community than most other artisans of his stature.

This pipe is from Chris Morgan’s Signature Series, which are the high-grade solo works that first built Morgan’s rise to fame. It is a high-contrast stain bent apple with a clear influence from the Danish tradition, and when I say this pipe shines, I mean it shines. In fact, I had to work very hard not to get my camera and my face in the photos you see here because the bowl was reflecting them so clearly. The pipe is completed by a black ebonite stem and is altogether remarkably light, at just 30 grams, or around an ounce.
