MBSD Meerschaum Nickel Mounted XL Lattice Carved Author Reverse Calabash Block Meerschaum Pipe, New

Description

While most of our mounted meerschaums use sterling silver, such as the Silver, Silver Cap, and Double Silver lines, the MBSD Meerschaum Nickel Mounted features, as the name suggests, nickel fitments, caps, and ferrules. Part of the impetus for this line was to offer premium meerschaum pipes that were a little more affordable than our silver-mounted ones, but the pipes were also inspired by the various accents worn by early briars, where nickel mounts were much more common. Whichever way you look at it, they’re a great way to get your hands on a high-quality meerschaum pipe with a little extra finery, but which is a lot lighter on the wallet.

In addition to their functional improvements, one thing that we’ve always been interested in when it comes to our meerschaum pipes is expanding our design portfolio. In particular, we’re always looking to including new shapes that either aren’t commonly associated with the medium, or which have been transformed in the last half century via the briar artisan scene. This extra large, Nickel Mounted line meerschaum is one of our many author renditions inspired by the classic designs of Italian pipe making, such as those of Brebbia and Savinelli, but with a latticework finish of teardrop carvings to give it a more “Turkish” feel. A reverse calabash system has also been included within its army-mounted shank, which should provide an even cooler, drier smoke than a standard-bore briar or meerschaum pipe.

This pipe comes with a custom-fitted hard case.
