It sure was the wonder material of the day. It’s still widely used also, we can’t manufacture it here in the USA but companies can still buy and use it and Mexico is still one of the worlds largest producer of asbestos and works with Russia to keep the industry alive. P.S. I hate asbestos

Failure to Ban Asbestos Remains a Global Problem
The three countries comprising North America have caused many deaths due to their failure to ban asbestos. Asbestos can be deadly in any amount of exposure.

That is a lovely looking pipe IMO.
I have two stubby Bones 9mm really good clenchers smoke great .
I now have 7 of Chris Morgan's Bones series pipes. All are great smokers and I enjoy each of them. the flaws , if any are minor natural flaws or blemishes in the briar that do not affect the way the pipes smokes at all. They are great smokers and comfortable to smoke. I will most likely purchase more of them in the future. I wish tht I could get a couple of his Blackjack series pipes, but haven't been lucky enough to find any yet!
I have one of the Morgan pipe cigars. It’s been a fixture in my rotation for years and a fantastic beach pipe, too!
I do have some of them. Don't smoke them often since moving on to Peterson. Even when I have Peterson packed away, I would reach for MM more than bones. The main reason is the stem. Nothing wrong with them. They are just fat and wide. Isn't really my favorite while being clenched. Other than that, they smoke fine and are at good price point for what they are.
I'm pretty sure it's still used on the space shuttles. It's an amazing insulator.It sure was the wonder material of the day.

I’ve almost bought one multiple times, but never pulled the trigger. Same for the unfinished Savinellis.
I don't own a Morgan, but people seem to be loyal to them, sort of like Jeep owners. I think the no-nonsense style has appeal. I didn't know about the Molina origins of the pipes, but it doesn't surprise me. Opportunities are everywhere. My version of this involves unfinished pipes by Savinelli.
While a appreciate the Savilinni and other higher grade/quality pipes, they're priced just over my budget.
Like my fountain pens, I try to keep it under $75, but if one comes along that I "just gotta have", it's not out of the question ?.
I have a new cob on the way, maybe, P&C are on my shit list with this order, and this Morgan, due to arrive in today's USPS. That pretty much blows my pipe budget for a while, and I need to concentrate on sampling more bakky ?.
The unfinished Savinelli used to be sold as seconds. The first one I bought as a basket pipe, didn't even know the brand. I've never bought one for over fifty bucks, and I think you can still find them for less than $75. They really finish nicely. First they just turn a matte shade darker, but eventually develop a polished finish. My best one is about forty years old. I never added any wax or polish, just buffed them with a cloth after each smoke.
BINGO!
Just did a little more, refined search and found the Series III pipes selling for around $50!
Just might have to budget one in my nest pipe order!
Thanks for the motivation to do a deeper search!
Hot Damn! Its here ?.
Haven't had a chance to fire it up, so just my first impressions...
I was a little disappointed in the packaging. Just a standard USPS padded shipping bag, folded over. Not much protection IMHO.
It comes with a drawstring bag with the logo. Nothing special here.
Nothing on the stem jumps out. Just an ordinary stem, no artwork, logo, dots or diamonds.
This is my first sandblasted pipe, so I'm not sure if it's normal to be blasted down into the bowl, but it works for me, giving it more of a roughed our look.
Standard logo on the bottom...
Aside from the roughness around the lip of the bowl, I only found two blemishes. The one down by the shank looks like a small knot and the other looks like a small dent or gouge, possibly from rustication.
Overall, I'm completely satisfied with this fine looking pipe and looking forward to my first bowl, PS LNF, tomorrow morning when there's no wind ??.

I have a Morgan Bones Big n Burley and it smokes very well. I do enjoy seeing the colouration change on a natural finished pipe. I wish they were more available here in the UK ?? as I only know of one stockist.
Happy smokes
