MBSD Meerschaum Silver Floral Apple 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. The basic shaping is inspired by the plump brandy and apple shapes most commonly found in Danish artisan briar pipes, particularly those of legends such as Former, S. Bang, and Kurt Balleby. The finishing (in addition to the materials used), on the other hand, is far more Turkish, incorporating the hallmark floral carvings of Eskişehir’s famous meerschaum workshops, and indeed from whence this pipe came. Its broad figure also made it the perfect candidate for a reverse calabash system, i.e., a hollowed chamber nestled within the shank, giving the smoke more room to cool and dry as it passes from the pipe’s chamber to its silver-mounted mouthpiece.
