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

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. In this instance, the shaping was loosely inspired by the slightly compact, yet eminently stacked, brandy shapes commonly seen in Scandi-American artisan briars, such as those of Peder Jeppesen, Bill Shalosky, and Larry Roush. Not wanting to be derivative, the pipe has also been furnished with beautifully hand-carved floral and guilloche motifs, adding a Turkish edge to its overall aesthetic. To make the most out of such a muscular form, a reverse calabash system has also been included, 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.
