Mr Brog Morta Pipe

Pipes on the ships of old were nothing new. Tobacco and rum made their appearance in short order with tobacco inherited from American Indians and rum from the Caribbean. Smoking aboard ship was allowed by limited to a safe area and at safe times, ergo the "smoking lamp". Where? Usually near the Galley, as it is here. A huge thanks to the amazing da'rum - a man of high ideals and many talents. This is just one of them.

Mr Brog Morta Pipe

Post by Dai »

Here is a review of a Mr Brog morta pipe done by a fellow welsh man Garry. Good review they might be worth looking into @ £36.
OR: 36.00 GBP = 55.5638 USD

I was thinking the same thing myself.

"Morta"...

...morta (accusative singular mortan, plural mortaj, accusative plural mortajn) of or related to death, dead
deadly, mortal (as a wound), deathly


Well named, lol. Actually for some unknown reason I have long noted the Brog's as in the manner of a good rum doesn't have to be expensive (think Barbancourt). Can it be true? Which of you will do the deed?

I don't have a Mr Brog but in my reading around the traps I've never heard a bad word against them. They are known as cheap, good smoking and well made pipes.

I won't be buying one anytime soon though. My Pipe and Tobacco budget has been put into austerity mode.

I'm thinking about it but I'll go for a pear wood one first just to test the water, then the morta one if everything is good.

I'd do that the other way around dai. I'd also like a pear wood but the morta is a better material and may not be around for long.
