MBSD Briars

MBSD Briars is our house brand of briar tobacco pipes, created to combine quality materials, thoughtful design, and approachable prices. Across our Timeless Traditions, Modern Masters, and By Vitale series, we honor influential pipe makers and enduring shapes from the past while creating distinctive pipes for today’s smokers.

Timeless Traditions celebrates the classic briar pipes of the interwar years. Inspired by early-20th-century factory catalogs, the series revisits shapes whose elegance and practicality have made them timeless. Designs such as the army-mount billiard feature quality briar, sterling-silver mounts, and hand-cut ebonite mouthpieces.

Modern Masters explores the more contemporary side of pipe making. This series pays tribute to influential postwar artisans whose distinctive shapes helped define the modern handmade pipe. Each design is an homage to one of our personal favorites, offering artisan-inspired style at an attainable price.

MBSD Briars by Piero Vitale began our house-brand briar collection. Developed with Italian artisan Piero Vitale and the Talamona factory of Paolo and Gianni Croci, these affordable Italian briar pipes use seasoned, pre-turned stummels sourced from Northern Italy’s historic pipe-making centers. Exotic-wood ferrules and specially cut beaded Lucite stems complete each design.

From traditional billiards and bent brandies to modern artisan-inspired shapes, MBSD Briars offers quality smoking pipes for a wide range of tastes and budgets.
