THE MAKING OF A GREAT MORTA PIPE

[UltraBlue]

Make no mistake: the difference between a cheap Morta pipe and an exceptional Morta pipe is like the difference between:

A driver and a chauffeur.
A trip and a voyage.
Mickey Mouse and a rat under your bed…

A colorful way to put it, and with pictures! Interesting. Thanks for posting.

Did you make that yourself @UltraBlue ?

Oh no way….
Made in Italy

It’s a nice pair of twin pipes: Morta and Calabrian Briar.
A drink, some music, and the party is unstoppable.

Ahhhh.
The vivid blue shirt in the first the photo and your user name had me thinking there is some connection - never mind

So.............what's the difference between a cheap and exceptional morta pipe?

Five or six thousand years, apparently.

Apparently. There are looks and there is smoking qualities. A 10,000 year old morta ebauchon is not a guarantee of exceptional smoking, just like a plateau with beautiful grain is not, either.
Beauty of the object matters but if it's not efficient, it's kind of sad.

One will leave excrement on your floor and the other will entertain your kids?

And your dogs as well.
Now seriously, the same criteria that applies to briar applies to Morta: bigger, older, beautiful grain and design, great smoke.

Leave Dave Ratso out of this. He's all about clay pipes and the best rat ever.

Beautiful pipe for sure but I think some of your pipe related posts would be more appropriately located in the “Pipe Talk” section of the forums

All the "For your consideration" posts had me thinking they were for sale

 

[UltraBlue]

OK guys.
It was a pleasure talking to you.
‘Will not stick around”

 

[HeavyLeadBelly]

Well this was fun lol

"
For your consideration" is a phrase used to formally present an idea, or information for review and thoughtful assessment.

I’m so sorry my words have mislead you, even after I specifically said “I’m not selling anything” on my other posts.
But who am I to judge…I know nothing about your condition.

Its not on the reader to decipher your esoteric and vague posts. So you shouldn't be getting bent out of shape when the peanut gallery comes calling.

Plus, post your posts in the correct part of the forum. For someone as enlightened and intelligent as you portray yourself to be, you sure do not understand how an online forum works.

But I suppose, what would a plebeian like me know? I honestly should be grateful that your majesty has chosen to mingle amongst us uneducated, unwashed, masses of the poor. Forgive me, and show mercy upon my ignorant soul.

Well, now your condition is becoming more evident.
