MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe Bent Apple Block Meerschaum Pipe, Briar-Mortise, 9mm [SOLD OUT]

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.

I’ve had several customers and inquirers ask me about our filtered Deluxe meerschaums. Our last batch, with its traditional and Danish briar-inspired stylings was extremely popular, with filter-users asking if we’d make something similar for them. This pipe is the result of that. It’s a fairly large, quarter-bent egg in the freehand Danish style, with inspiration from greats such as S. Bang and Jess Chonowitsch. It is chambered for 9mm filters (though it can also be smoked outout), and as with all of our Deluxe models, it has a briar mortise and a delrin tenon, which should be more than adequate for handling its generous proportions.

While some meerschaum pipes come with clamshell cases, some pipe smokers don’t find much use for them. As our Deluxe meerschaums are all fitted with an extra durable, patented Briar-Mortise system, we considered this an opportunity to offer a pipe that instead comes with a complimentary protective sleeve, and to pass the savings onto our buyers. For buyers that would like a cased pipe, please see our other listings, where we provide plenty of suitable options.
