MBSD Meerschaum Deluxe Peewit 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.

We've had a new hire recently, and when I asked him what shape he would most like to see in our meeerschaum pipes, he answered before I could even finish the question: the Peewit. As we've explored with many other of our meerschaums, the Peewit is typically found in briar pipes, especially in the work of artisan carvers. It is a shape that helped inaugurate the new Danish style in postwar pipe-making, thanks to the designs of Sixten Ivarsson and those he inspired.

It is sometimes referred to as a strawberry or an acorn, but it was christened the "Peewit" by Ivarsson due to its distinctly avian side profile. Over the decades, many Peewits have come and gone as new generations of pipe-makers put their spin on that classic shape.

I thought it only right that I follow our new team member's suggestion to do our own. This one has a taller, more stack-like chamber than the others, with a simple black saddle stem. Bowl Width: 0.75 / 19.05mm.
