MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe Silver Pot Block Meerschaum Pipe, Briar-Mortise

Description

After the success of our MBSD Deluxe meerschaum pipes, which feature a patented Briar-Mortise system for extra durability, we’ve been developing additional series to offer an even greater range of meers for our customers. One of these series is the Deluxe Silver, which features a mortise strengthened both by briar on the interior, and sterling silver on the exterior. These pipes might be thought of as army mount or spigot mount pipes (depending on the design), with even more of a guarantee to their longevity. Better still, these pipes are made from the same high-grade, fast-coloring meerschaum as our Deluxe and Silver series.

As long time MBSD visitors will know, I’m a big fan of bringing shapes more traditionally associated with briar pipes to meerschaum pipes. In the past, I’ve had Danish-style pipes made, and I’ve had Italian-style pipes made. For the latest batch, I thought it was only fair that traditional English and French makers receive their own tributes. This particular Deluxe pays homage to the simple pot shapes of early briar pipes, such as those of Barling and Charatan, including through its horn-hued acrylic stem. Like those pipes, the pipe manages an impressive lightness, coming in at just 34 grams; unlike those pipes, it also features beautiful, quintessentially Turkish latticework. The best of both worlds, you might say.
