MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe Rustic Rhodesian Block Meerschaum Pipe, Briar-Mortise, New

Description

At MBSD we sell a lot of high-grade, high-quality pipes from various iconic makes, but the pipes we’re most proud of are our meerschaums. Right from the beginning, we wanted to offer the best smoking meers on the market, and to do this, we had them made with two distinct features. First, we made sure that they were made with block meerschaum that was carefully selected to be the most lightweight, pure, and porous available, meaning it would also color more quickly and evenly as it is smoked. Second, for our Deluxe meerschaums, we had the pipes made with a patented Briar-Mortise system that is closer to the stem connection on a briar pipe than a standard meerschaum. This is because, on our Deluxe models, the mortise is made from briar itself, while the tenons used are made from Delrin. This allows for more precision construction of the pipe’s draft hole, as well as a general extra durability and longevity.

In part inspired by traditional briar Rhodesian shapes and in part by the popular image of the kinds of pipes Sherlock Holmes used to smoke (the books themselves notwithstanding), this particular Deluxe is for those looking for something eminently “classic.” It’s not simply a case of all form and no function, however, as the pipe not only features a very generous chamber, but is also compact and lightweight enough to stow away during travel and clench upon arrival.
