MBSD Meerschaum Silver Floral Anse Reverse Calabash Block Meerschaum Pipe, New

Description

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.

Long-time visitors to MBSD Pipes will know how much I enjoy blending various shapes and styles for our meerschaum pipe designs. Our latest batch of MBSD Meerschaums have included some prime examples, this being one of them. I would say that this is the most “traditional” of the latest Silver line meers, paying homage to the compact cutty, Belge, and Devil Anse shapes of early briars, including in its horn-like acrylic stem. Where it departs from those designs is in its finish and fitment, incorporating an altogether different tradition—Turkish floral and guilloche carvings—as well as a reverse calabash system. The latter is the most modern addition (though with a long pre-history), being essentially a hollow chamber nestled within the shank, which gives the smoke more room to cool and dry as it passes from the pipe’s chamber to its silver-mounted mouthpiece.
