MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe Smooth Churchwarden Block Meerschaum Pipe, Briar-Mortise, New

At MBSD we sell a lot of high-grade, high-quality pipes from various iconic makes, but some of 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.

Owing to the sheer length of their mouthpieces, churchwardens are famous for their cool-smoking properties, as well as being excellent reading pipes. Meerschaum is similarly famous for smoking cool and dry. Combine the two, and you have one of the most tongue-friendly designs conceivable. While we’ve seldom offered them in the past, owing to a few requests, we’ve included a number churchwardens in our MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe line this batch, with a good variety of bowl shapes to choose from.

This pipe comes with a custom-fitted hard case.
