Morta May

Gents, with the fun we had during March Meerschaum Madness, I thought it was time to put up an official thread for Morta May. So, for the month of May, let's see those pretty morta pipes. Show us those dark beauties. What do you have? What do you like smoking in them? Bring on the haikus extolling the virtues of morta! Whatever you want. But let's get our morta on.

Well, I just bought a Rick Black Morta from [MENTION=92850]FoolishMortal[/MENTION].

Hopefully the weather improves a bit so I can actually try it out.

Very nice! Welcome to the club.

Here are my trio of black beauties. Tinsky LE morta billiard with mammoth ivory ring, Tinsky morta Apple with silver band, and a Moretti morta billiard with Cumberland stem.

And tonight I'm having some brebbia Latakia flake in my Tinsky billiard.

And a bowl of PH special curly in my Moretti morta billiard.

That is a MONSTER of a pipe. What? 50g bowl? It looks like something Ardor would produce. Gorgeous pipe Micah.

I agree. Caught my eye immediately, and truth be told I like better than my 2015 LE Morta.

Do you also eat pizza with a fork? I mean really- he's a New Yorker for goodness sake, he should know better.

on edit: As a Clevelander, if I saw someone eating a Polish Boy with a fork I would have the same reaction Mmmmm, Polish boy

You still do have a chance. It appears that only the 2012 was sold. The thread hasn't been closed yet:
