Chris Morgan Sandblasted Long Shank Egg 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.

After many years spent working on his various pipe-making innovations, from the Briar Cigar to the Bones series, Chris Morgan has now returned his focus to the pipes that first brought him renown: his high-grade handmade works. The rebirth of the Chris Morgan handmade has been accompanied by a change in nomenclature and, for the first time, an inlaid stem logo. This logo takes the form of an offset, luminescent dot which glows in low light.

This particular pipe is one of the more compact pieces from Chris Morgan’s latest output. It is a long shanked egg in the Danish tradition, synthesizing the slender, lightweight proportions of the early Danish carvers with the fuller, more rounded shaping of later designs. The color scheme is however far more contemporary, juxtaposing a lightly stained, ring grain sandblast with a hand cut tan ebonite stem.
