Morgan Bones Bent Apple Briar Pipe, New

Description

Chris Morgan is an American artisan pipe-maker based in California. Beginning his pipe-making career in 2006, Morgan has managed to carve a distinct niche for himself in the contemporary pipe scene – or, rather, many niches. Morgan creates high-grade pipes both as part of his Signature line and as part of his Workshop line, which is a collaborative effort between himself and Montana artisan Sean Reum. Morgan is also responsible for the Blackjack and Briar Cigar pipe series, the latter coming from a partnership with Italian artisan and briar cutter Mimmo Romeo. Finally, as the creator of the rough and rugged Bones series, Morgan has become even more of a cult figure in the pipe community than most other artisans of his stature.

This particular pipe from Chris Morgan is one of his famed ‘Bones’ series. These pipes have an enormous following, being simple but reliable smokers fashioned from well-seasoned Italian stummels. The Bones pipes are given a naked stain and a sandblast of varying intensity, and instead of filling any natural imperfections in the briar with putty (as pipe-makers have done for over a century), Bones pipes wear these imperfections with pride, giving each one an individual character. This particular Bones is a lightweight, quarter-bent apple; it is – to use Morgan’s words – “a simple smoking machine.”
