Morgan Pipes is the pipe company of Chris Morgan, a California pipe carver. In addition to his own highly sought after line of artisan pipes, he produces the "Briar Cigar" and Blackjack pipe line, both of which are made in Italy, on assumption by [[Molina Pipe]], to Morgan's design. The pipes are made in the former [[Rossi]] pipe factory, which before World War II employed 800 workers and produced a staggering 50,000 pipes a day. | Morgan Pipes is the pipe company of Chris Morgan, a California pipe carver.

And now, this is my promise to you, my friends: As long as I have customers to admire my pipes, I will continue to produce one of a kind briar beauties for the world to enjoy. Thank You All!" | I am self taught, but I have had some help along the way from a few seasoned professionals in this field.

Chris also produces Bones Pipes, which he describes as '''''"pipes - Thats it - No fancy stuff:''''' | |||
''If you want a pipe to start with or just build your collection, Bones are the pipes for you. Toss it in a tackle box or a backpack and go. These pipes are, simply put, the absolute least expensive honest briar pipe on the market. A simple smoking machine.'' | |||
