MBSD Meerschaum Silver Floral Cobra 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. For the shaping, the Danish cobra shapes of Tonni Nielsen, Jorgen Larsen, and Peter Heeschen, provided some inspiration, as did certain French makes, such as Butz-Choquin and Chacom. A far more Turkish art—intricate floral carvings—were layered on top of its basic form, which, oddly enough, resulted in something even closer to the shape’s namesake. Being a rather sturdy take on the shape, a reverse calabash system was also added, 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.
