MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe Floral Barrel Block Meerschaum Pipe, Briar-Mortise, 9mm

Description

At MBSD we sell a lot of high-grade, high-quality pipes from various iconic makes, but the pipes we’re most proud of are our meerschaums. Right from the beginning, we wanted to offer the best smoking meers on the market, and to do this, we had them made with two distinct features. First, we made sure that they were made with block meerschaum that was carefully selected to be the most lightweight, pure, and porous available, meaning it would also color more quickly and evenly as it is smoked. Second, for our Deluxe meerschaums, we had the pipes made with a patented Briar-Mortise system that is closer to the stem connection on a briar pipe than a standard meerschaum. This is because, on our Deluxe models, the mortise is made from briar itself, while the tenons used are made from Delrin. This allows for more precision construction of the pipe’s draft hole, as well as a general extra durability and longevity.

This Deluxe was inspired by modern briar renditions of the more traditional barrel shape. Like the latter, it features a relatively tall, narrow bowl shape, but like the former, such as those of Claudio Cavicchi, Rolando Negoita, and Tsuge, it features a raised shank and full bend, creating a striking side profile and a more ergonomic posture. This pipe also fills a couple of niches we’ve had more requests for recently. For one, it is suitable for 9mm filters, and for another, it features beautiful, Turkish hand carvings, creating a really distinct design.
