EXPENSIVE, RISKY, I know.
There is no shortage of briar, and cobs are awesome too. So why should you invest in this random black material? Hopefully I can sell you on it.
My thumb hovered over the purchase button on the Briarworks website. Afterall 150 bucks ain’t nothing to sneeze at. “All I know is they won’t form a cake” played back in my head over and over. The gentleman at my local b&m were right, it sure doesn’t. It’s not particularly aesthetically pleasing either. Just black rusticated wood. I had been looking at this Moonshine Devil Anse in Morta for a few weeks. With the bright yellow amber stem, it’s certainly an acquired taste, and with that kind of money I could have taken my fiancé out to a nice Italian dinner.
I purchased the pipe and a wave of anxiety and regret instantly hit me. But I sure am happy that I made the investment.
Titanium. That’s what comes to mind when I hold this pipe. It’s light as a feather, Morta is between 3,000 and 8,000 years old. Oak trees that have fallen into a bog. Over time and through anaerobic processes the saps and other minerals are replaced. The final result is a half wood/ half stone hybrid material that smokes like a cob or meerschaum. It’s light as a feather and tough as nails.
Unadulterated flavor with a dry, cool smoke. Who can argue with that? I have two briar devil Anse pipes from the same company that don’t stand a chance against this. It’s rugged, tough, and I can smoke it all day, and perhaps every day without worrying about it wearing out or getting too damp.
Stop reading this review and get yourself a morta pipe, what the heck are you waiting for?
