Show Us Your Morta Pipes.

[OzPiper]

There are numerous threads on morta pipes, but I was surprised to find none dedicated to showing off your mortas. So here are mine to start this thread

A few Morettis. Marco's mortas are well-made and very fairly priced. A good starting point for anyone looking at morta pipes

2 mortas by Davorin Denovic
Davorin calls these "copper" mortas, and says they are denser and a better grade of morta.

The copper morta is younger.

Very similar sized pipes.
A brandy with horn extension by Mimmo Provenzano and a silver-banded by Josef Pramer
The Pramer is so much denser than the Provenzano.

My 2 favourites
A heavily blasted brandy by Reiner Thilo. Quite light despite its thick walls.
And a canted egg with 2-knuckle black bamboo extension by Domagoj Telisman (Dotter Pipes)

That's certainly true of the lighter coloured Morettis. The wood seems softer, and I had a couple of "burn/char" spots in the horn-stemmed squat billiard. Luckily it was easily fixed with some pipe-mud.

The 2 Davorins are altogether denser and the wood seems a lot harder than the Morettis, so I'm guessing older morta with a higher mineral content.

Still waiting on it and its twin, both have been hung up in customs.

Could be a result of where they were harvested from like Turkish meer versus African.

Sincere question : do you smoke that pipe or just display it?

If it ever arrives it'll be a smoker, I mentioned above that it's been stuck in customs. Going on three weeks now. I bought it for Visions of Celephäis and it's sibling for Miskatonic Mixture.

The only morta pipe that I have so far, nQa morta poker by Nathan Davis / crashthegrey , of nQa pipes. Great cool smoker and comfortable cleancher.

Beautiful work...but, visions of Celephais? I believe that we both like Devil's holiday occasionally but I cannot take Celephais anytime.

 

[Waning Embers]

visions of Celephais?

Yep. I had been looking for a purple pipe for it.

Devil's holiday occasionally

Only occasionally? I can put that stuff away when I get started on it. One of my Weavers is dedicated to it.?
