MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe Bent Rhodesian Block Meerschaum Pipe, Briar-Mortise [SOLD]

Description

While some meerschaum pipes come with clamshell cases, some pipe smokers don’t find much use for them. As our Deluxe meerschaums are all fitted with an extra durable, patented Briar-Mortise system, we considered this an opportunity to offer a pipe that instead comes with a complimentary protective sleeve, and to pass the savings onto our buyers. For buyers that would like a cased pipe, please see our other listings, where we provide plenty of suitable options.

Some of you may be familiar with my recent efforts to bring shapes typically associated with briar pipes into the world of meerschaum. First, I had some more ‘Danish’ designs carved; with this batch, I was on a little Italian kick, so I worked with my carver in Türkiye to pay homage to the great workshop makes, such as Castello, Mastro de Paja, Caminetto, Ser Jacopo, and Don Carlos. This Rhodesian is from the latter forays, which is most visibly apparent in its unconventionally high ‘bead-lines’ and tall bowl.
