Chris Morgan Smooth Nosewarmer Bulldog 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.

The bulldog is not a common shape for nosewarmers. But, if there’s anyone that can pull off something different in the pipe world, Chris Morgan has proved time and time again that he’s up to the challenge. And it is a beautiful pipe: the grain patterns are excellent, with flame grain circling the bowl, accentuated by a warm, golden contrast stain; and the stem is a highly distinct, tan-hued ebonite that perfectly complements the bowl it’s paired with. As is expected from a nosewarmer, the pipe is very lightweight, at just 36 grams, meaning it’s perfectly suited for clenching.
