So-called “freehand” pipes aren’t typically associated with meerschaum, despite meerschaum carving being primarily done by hand. This magnum-sized meerschaum from IMP shows what a missed opportunity the merging of “Danish” freehands and meerschaum pipes has been (though we do try our best with our own-brand meers). Perhaps most impressive is that it’s already started to color…
Unlike their counterparts in the world of briar, the artisans who carve meerschaum pipes are seldom known by name. Only a very small percentage of such carvers rise to a level of mastery and recognition that leads to their pipes being explicitly attributed to them. At any given outlet, you might find a pipe signed…
Unfortunately the nomenclature and/or logos from this pipe have worn off, though it does remind me quite a lot of the old Pioneer meerschaums made for Wally Frank. Just like those meerschaums, this one features a kind of army mount stem configuration, which many find to be an improvement on the usual two-piece nylon threaded…

The MBSD Meerschaum Silver is our line of silver mounted meerschaum pipes. Using the same high-grade, fast-coloring Turkish meerschaum found on our Deluxe series, these pipes exclusively feature silver army mounts or spigot mounts. As with the Deluxe line, I wanted some of our Silver line of meerschaums to feature a few classic shapes not…
Founded in 1964 by Turkish engineer Cano A. Ozgener, CAO was one of the most renowned importers of meerschaum pipes in the last half-century, thanks in no small part to their close affiliation with master carvers such as Ismet Bekler. Emerging out of Ozgener’s own dissatisfaction with the quality of Turkish-made meerschaum pipes of the…
While I am, of course, biased toward our own MBSD Meerschaum line, that doesn’t mean I can’t appreciate such pipes when they come from other makers. While I don’t know who made this one, it does feature some very beautiful, spiral carvings around the bowl that give it an almost floral character. It’s already started…
