MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe Silver Peewit Block Meerschaum Pipe, Briar-Mortise

Description

After the success of our MBSD Deluxe meerschaum pipes, which feature a patented Briar-Mortise system for extra durability, we’ve been developing additional series to offer an even greater range of meers for our customers. One of these series is the Deluxe Silver, which features a mortise strengthened both by briar on the interior, and sterling silver on the exterior. These pipes might be thought of as army mount or spigot mount pipes (depending on the design), with even more of a guarantee to their longevity. Better still, these pipes are made from the same high-grade, fast-coloring meerschaum as our Deluxe and Silver series.

We’ve had a new hire recently, and when I asked him what shape he would most like to see in our meeerschaum pipes, he answered before I could even finish the question: “the Peewit.” As we’ve explored with many other of our meerschaums, the Peewit is typically found in briar pipes, especially in the work of artisan carvers. It is a shape that helped inaugurate the new Danish style in postwar pipe-making, thanks to the designs of Sixten Ivarsson and those he inspired. It is sometimes referred to as a strawberry or an acorn, but it was christened the “Peewit” by Ivarsson due to its distinctly avian side profile. Over the decades, many Peewits have come and gone as new generations of pipe-makers put their spin on that classic shape. I thought it only right that I follow our new team member’s suggestion to do our own.
