MBSD Meerschaum Silver Army Mount Peewit Block Meerschaum Pipe, New

Description

The MBSD Meerschaum Silver is our new series of silver mounted meerschaum pipes. Using the same high-grade, fast-coloring Turkish meerschaum found on our Deluxe series, these pipes exclusively feature silver army mounts or spigot mounts.

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.
