In Steve Morrisette’s own words: “It started when I was twelve years old and my Dad, a pipe smoker and duck hunter, graciously allowed me to refinish his shotguns. I fell in love with the beauty of those walnut burl gunstocks. In middle age, I switched to smoking a pipe from cigars and rapidly began to build a nice collection of some of the finest briars in the world. Fabulous shapes with astonishing woods and superb workmanship. I learned what a beautiful, good smoking pipe was.” ~ Pipedia UNSMOKED! Here's an absolute gem of a briar recently crafted by Morrisette, a pinnacle achievement. Exquisitely finished with a matching Cumberland stem, it is museum quality. Wrapped in delightful ring grain, with an ocean of birds-eye end grain in the heel, it will smoke sweetly and dryly. Lightweight, with a full bend, it is a superlative all day clencher that you won’t even know is there. And, with lots of meat in the bowl, it would smoke more cooly. Draft hole is center and just above the bottom of the chamber. There is a wide-open, effortless draw. Well-engineered tenon to mortise union is very sound, snug and flush. Pipe does not accept a filter. Due to the outstanding grain, pipe weighs only 1. 48 ounces (42 grams). No fills, but a small natural blemish. No handling marks. Pipe passes a cleaner with ease! Regarding graining, the well-respected authority on the subject, Carl Ehwa, in his landmark book, Pipes & Tobaccos, writes: “When selecting briar pipes, quality of wood and workmanship and the type of graining are the prime considerations. Pipes made of dense, straight grain wood … have a tendency to absorb moisture much more slowly, which means they will smoke more sweetly and need to be rested less often. The bird's–eye, or end grain at the bottom of the bowl of a straight grain pipe absorbs moisture more quickly than other grains. Yet, because of its position, it allows the moisture to drain away from the tobacco and the channel, thus keeping the smoke dry.” ~ Pg 128 Condition: UNSMOKED Weight 1. 48 ounces (42 grams).
