Morgan Bones Pipes

pwkarch

Gentlemen
Does anyone have experience with the "Bones" Pipes by Morgan. I have been looking online at them for awhile now. There is a "Volcano" shape with a slight bend to the stem that I like very much. I keep going online and checking them out (sort of like a kid going back a million times to the Sears "Wishbook" back in the day. I like very much the shape, and the look of the unfinished bowl and stummel. I would love to see the unfinished briar age and darken over time much like a real meerschaum pipe would. They appear by their dimensions and capacities to be slightly smaller, but that does not bother me at all. I am curious if anyone has one and can give me a "heads up" as to their opinion. I would appreciate any information.

@pwkarch You won't find another briar pipe with that bang for the buck. I have 4 Morgan Bones pipes and they all perform great! Haven't had any issues with them. All the pipes are made in Italy. I will warn you though, don't expect a perfect pipe. Blemishes in the briar are normal and, in a sense, part of the Bones series experience. If you have any issues with them, Chris Morgan is really responsive.

Thank you Oddjob......I know they buy stummels from companies that reject them. I also know you get what you pay for. They just look simplistic and functional........I might get one some day soon. Thank you......

Agreed, I have a sitting barrel shape from him and couldn't be happier.  Just waiting to get the next shape.

Wrmills

Are the pipes made in Italy? Or are they made in California?

Oddjob27

@Wrmills The pipes are made in italy and then QC'd by Chris.

I think I am going to order one of these,,,, in their ‘gnarly random’ style.

I have a Bones poker that I really like. I love the gnarled look of virgin briar.

Chris Morgan just posted up a fresh batch of Bones pipes AND a special churchwarden!

I have one and absolutely love it.  It’s my truck pipe that I can just throw in a bag without worrying about it getting beat up.  Best bang for the buck in my opinion.

I only have one Morgan Bones pipe (a bent brandy), but I definitely plan on ordering more. They're solid pipes for the price, and perfect for any pipe collection. It's also fun watching them color over time, and if you want, you can always stain the pipe yourself. Go for it, you won't regret it.

I own a couple of Bones pipes and a black jack, like everyone has said best bang for your buck. Engineering is solid and I haven't had a bad one yet. If you go to Chris's website that @motie2 posted above and subscribe to his newsletter he emails those on the list of upcoming sales and special before releasing to the public. He has a lot of great pipes and higher end as well; all wonderful smokers.
