MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe Cavalier-style Block Meerschaum Pipe, Briar-Mortise, New

  

MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe Cavalier-style Block Meerschaum Pipe, Briar-Mortise, New. At MBSD we sell a lot of high-grade, high-quality pipes from various iconic makes, but the pipes we're most proud of are our meerschaums. Right from the beginning, we wanted to offer the best smoking meers on the market, and to do this, we had them made with two distinct features.

First, we made sure that they were made with block meerschaum that was carefully selected to be the most lightweight, pure, and porous available, meaning it would also color more quickly and evenly as it is smoked. Second, for our Deluxe meerschaums, we had the pipes made with a patented Briar-Mortise system that is closer to the stem connection on a briar pipe than a standard meerschaum. This is because, on our Deluxe models, the mortise is made from briar itself, while the tenons used are made from Delrin. This allows for more precision construction of the pipe's draft hole, as well as a general extra durability and longevity. As long time MBSD visitors will know, I'm a big fan of bringing shapes more traditionally associated with briar pipes to meerschaum pipes. I've worked with my carver to have Danish-style meers made, and I've had Italian-style ones made. More recently, I thought that the older, English and French styles should be represented, too. Which is how this pipe came about. It is based on the. Traditional cavalier shape, which has its roots in non-pipes from centuries ago, but which was revitalized through briar carvers in the 19th and early-20th centuries. While some meerschaum pipes come with clamshell cases, some pipe smokers don't find much use for them. As our Deluxe meerschaums are all fitted with an extra durable, patented Briar-Mortise system, we considered this an opportunity to offer a pipe that instead comes with a complimentary protective sleeve, and to pass the savings onto our buyers. For buyers that would like a cased pipe, please see our other listings, where we provide plenty of suitable options. Bowl Width: 0.76 / 19.30mm.
