Though I’m not sure of the maker, I’m quite impressed with this magnum-sized, army mount meerschaum pipe. The design is a highly unorthodox one for meerschaums, being reminiscent not of typical Turkish shapes but of Danish and American freehands. In fact, it reminds me a little of the very early WO Larsen freehands carved by…
Though I’m proud of our own-brand meerschaums, that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate the works of other master carvers working out of Türkiye. Sadik Yanik is undoubtedly one of those masters. Having carved meerschaum pipes since the late 1970s, and beginning at the age of just 13, Yanik has become a name as synonymous with…
The Chub Cornabis fits comfortably in the palm and pocket making it a ton of fun wherever it may be. This natural pipe is non-filtered with a carb-hole on the side and features an ivory bit with screens for the bowl. Due to the nature of the corn cobs themselves, you may notice some chipping on the…
The Patriot Corn Cob Pipe from Missouri Meerschaum is non-filtered with a uniquely shaped bowl, narrow body, and thick rim with a dark stain added. The Patriot has a genuine hardwood insert in the bottom of the bowl. Available in either a straight or bent bit. Due to the nature of the corn cobs themselves, you may…
Though I’m not sure who made it, I’ve a strong suspicion that this particular meerschaum had a very specific inspiration for its design: the “320” shape made by Savinelli. Like the 320, it is a distinctly chubby author shape, with this one also having the advantage of being able to nicely color over time. This…
Though I’m not sure who made it, I’ve a strong suspicion that this particular meerschaum had a very specific inspiration for its design: the “320” shape made by Savinelli. Like the 320, it is a distinctly chubby author shape, and even features a rustication style similar to certain Savinelli models. This pipe is completely unsmoked….
Though I can’t be sure who made this meerschaum, it does have an enjoyable plumpness to it, reminiscent of Savinelli’s famous 320 author shape. It is also completely unsmoked. Details: Length: 5.2″ / 132.0mm Bowl Width: 0.78 / 19.81mm Bowl Depth: 1.3″ / 33.02mm Weight: 2.1oz / 62g
I’ve said before that the closest analog to meerschaum carving in fine art (as traditionally defined) is sculpture. More specifically, its closest analog is subtractive sculpture, such as in the medium of marble. A question I’ve sometimes wondered, however, is of which period in the history of sculpture that meerschaum carving would be analogous to….
While it’s tough to be certain where this old meer originated, I suspect it was made in Austria in the early 20th Century. It’s got a bone tenon and a beautiful amber stem. Details: Length: 6″ Bowl Width: 24.2mm Bowl Depth: 1.8″ Weight: 1.4oz / 41g
I’m not too familiar with Paykoc as a meerschaum brand, but I am familiar with Emre Mangaltepe, who happened to carve this pipe for the brand. Emre is a true artist in the meerschaum world, and the level of detail on this pipe shows off his skills wonderfully. Details: Length: 6.2″ / 157.4mm Bowl…
MBSD Classic is our series of, well, classic meerschaum pipes, with an eye to affordability.

Our classic line is also intended to give those who haven’t yet tried smoking a meer’ a…
Though I don’t know the maker, I do recognize true Turkish artistry when I see it. The latticework on this meerschaum is expertly carved, which is all the more impressive given how large the pipe is. Details: Length: 7.2″ / 182.8mm Bowl Width: 0.87 / 22.09mm Bowl Depth: 2.06″ / 52.32mm Weight: 2.4oz /…
From the looks of it, this particular meerschaum pipe was carved to celebrate 200 years of American independence, and was therefore carved into one of the United States’ great monuments – the Liberty Bell. Details: Length: 6.5″ / 165.1mm Bowl Width: 0.79 / 20.06mm Bowl Depth: 1.3″ / 33.02mm Weight: 1.1oz / 32g
Founded in 1964 by Turkish engineer Cano A. Ozgener, CAO was one of the most renowned importers of meerschaum pipes in the last half-century, thanks in no small part to their close affiliation with master carvers such as Ismet Bekler. Emerging out of Ozgener’s own dissatisfaction with the quality of Turkish-made meerschaum pipes of the…
I’ve said before may times that the closest art form to meerschaum carving is classical sculpture, and that this is perhaps most exemplified by the form of the bust, which each commonly employs. This one takes as its subject a far more modern figure than classical sculpture however, that being one of the two most…
While I am – unsurprisingly – partial to our own, MBSD-brand meerschaums, that doesn’t mean I don’t recognize a good meer when I see one, regardless of the maker. This magnum-sized one from Hakan is undeniably masterfully carved, and could be the perfect pipe for a red-blooded American patriot. This pipe is also completely unsmoked….
While I’m of course pretty partial to our own-brand, MBSD Meerschaum pipes, that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate genuine meerschaum artistry when I see it – regardless of the maker. This one I liked a lot. I’ve put it under the “Dublin” tag, but it’s really more of a mushroom shape, which really fits the…
Though I’m of course partial to our MBSD-brand meerschaums, that doesn’t mean I don’t recognize genuine artistry in the craft when I see it, regardless of the maker. This meer, from the highly respected SMS make, is an example of exactly that. It’s a beautiful vase-like creation – very old-world, in fact – with a…
Pioneer was a brand of meerschaum pipes sold by Wally Frank. Wally Frank was a historic American tobacconist, which had its house-brand pipes produced by numerous established makes. Pioneer pipes have been associated with Manx, a meerschaum company based on the Isle of Man in the UK, who also made Peterson and Barling meerschaums. This…
Though I’m biased in my being partial to our own, MBSD-make meerschaums, I still appreciate the pipes of other makes, especially when they’re as nice as this one. This one looks to be around half a century old, with a style that recalls the Austrian, Vienna meerschaums and their classical inclinations. Being modeled on the…
Though I’m biased in my being partial to our own, MBSD-make meerschaums, I still appreciate the pipes of other makes, especially when they’re as nice as this one. The style makes it look at least half a century old, being a large and relatively simple, yet curiously baroque egg shape of a sort, with an…
Mastercraft was a major American pipe company in the mid-20th century, with Bing Crosby being one of its most famous clients. However, Mastercraft did not manufacture pipes. Instead, they imported pipes from high-quality European makers, such as England’s Orlik, France’s Jeantet, and Italy’s Brebbia, offering these pipes to the American market. When we think of…
Kiko was a brand of pipes produced by the Kilimanjaro Pipe Company, a pipe company based in what is now Tanganyika in the United Republic of Tanzania.

We’re revisiting our roots! It’s been a while since we’ve undertaken such an extensive restoration of an antique meerschaum pipe.

Hilson is something of an outlier in the pipe world, in that it is a successful company not from England, Denmark, France, the USA, or indeed any of the countries typically associated with pipe-making. Instead, Hilson is a pipe company that began in Belgium. Hilson was founded by the Hillen family in Bree in the…
While I cannot provide an exact date, this meerschaum has all the hallmarks of being a late 19th to turn of the 20th century piece: the design is incredibly old fashioned, with a calabash-style bowl that screws into the base of the pipe; a shape that we might today call a hawkbill, a Lyon, or…
A gentleman in Pennsylvania reached out to us to help him sell his antique meerschaum collection. Among the collection was this cheeroot pipe, used many decaded ago to smoke small cigars. The detail in this old meer is about as good as it gets. Both horns are still intact which isn’t all that common for…

Having run a furniture shop, he used these pipes as decorative pieces throughout his establishment. Among his acquisitions is a striking roaring lion, initially procured in Italy. The pipe boasts remarkable coloring, particularly featuring a…
CPF is something of a mystery in the annals of pipe-making. It stood for either Colossus Pipe Factory, Consolidated Pipe Factory, or C. P. Fenner, depending on who you ask. But it is generally agreed that CPF was affiliated with Kaufman Bros. & Bondy, AKA KB&B, who are today most famous for creating Kaywoodie pipes….

In the contemporary world of pipes, it is not often that master meerschaum carvers receive the fame and acclaim of master briar carvers, which is a shame. There are exceptions, however, Eyup Sabri being one of them. Rightfully considered to have been one of the best meerschaum carvers to have ever lived, Sabri died in…
