MBSD Meerschaue Deluxe Bent Billiard 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.

The bent billiard is a classic of briar pipe-making. It is also a minor classic of meerschaum pipe-making, thanks to Austrian (specifically, Vienna) meerschaum houses, such as those of Fischer and Andreas Bauer (who were themselves highly influenced by briar pipes). The design of this Deluxe is very much in that vein, though with the added improvement of a Delton push tenon and Briar Mortise system. This one is a relatively compact and exceedingly easy clenching saddle bent billiard, ensuring smokes that are as comfortable stood on two legs as they are sat on four.
