MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe Cobra Block Meerschaum Pipe, Briar-Mortise

  

MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe Cobra Block Meerschaum Pipe, Briar-Mortise. 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. This particular Deluxe is another example of the Danish, or Danish-inspired, meerschaum designs my carver and I have been working on. Or, rather, it's a Danish-French inspired pipe. There was certainly some influence from the pipes of Tonni Nielsen, Jorgen Larsen, and Peter Heeschen, but there was also some influence from Butz-Choquin and Chacom, who made some really interesting cobras in the late-20th century (probably with a Danish influence themselves).
