I was there looking at this one. Reluctant to pull the trigger. Good pipe? THOUGHTS ARE WELCOMED.
Even the older material can burn. We've have some members reporting cracks from smoking. I've only got one but no damage yet.
I just heard back from the purchasing site. A glitch in the system failed to mark this as sold. The search continues...
Wait for one you MUST have. It'll pop up sooner or later.
Very nice! I've always wanted to own a Morta... cause I just love old shit!
I hope it works out for you.

I have 2 mortas from Davorin. One purchased from Altinok,mane one directly from Davorin himself. I also have one of his olive wood pipes. He is a lovely person to deal with, and very friendly.
Both mortas are the lighter coloured "copper" morta which are noticeably denser than a few "black" mortas I have from other makers. Do bear in mind that "black morta" from another may be stained black and does not necessarily denote older material.
With morta, the quality is predicated by density, as this has a direct correlation to the mineral content absorbed by the wood over the Millenia.

Try to send him email I have 2 his morta pipes. He’s great pipe maker
One of his US vendors, used by be Toby Ducote in New Orleans. I travel to NOLA a lot and me him several times, and handled the Davorin motra pipes. They were built well by my limited handling. Toby and the owner of the Meterie shop smoked and enjoyed them. I'm not a morta guy, so I can't comment on use.
Toby started the first and last New Orleans pipe show, he was also a moderator here for a short time. Then, he dropped out of sight.

I have a Morta Cannonball that developed a crack in the mortise, banding it has stopped further propagation. Other than that it's been a good pipe.
This one is a bit "out there" for my moderately conservative self. Suits you quite well if I may say so.
That doesn't mean the carver couldn't make a more conservative or traditional pipe, though.
