Normally MPC, by statute promoter of the Italian artisan production of pipes, does not deal with foreign manufactures, but in this case we made an exception for George Daoud who declares himself "king of pipes" of the Middle East.

Clearly we have not had the opportunity to visit the Real Briar headquarters in Beirut, in the Bourj Hammoud area, but it seemed like a curiosity to present our readers with a production and a market that we were unaware of.

We contacted George, a regular member of the Lebanese Chamber of Industry and Commerce, and we discovered that his business began in 1985 and that all of his production includes an internal steel filter.

They have a declared production capacity of 5,000 pipes per month, the briar is imported from Europe while all the other components are Lebanese. Their sales are developed only in the Middle East.

They don't have a website yet and, while waiting for them to have the opportunity to create one, we offer them at least this free space out of friendship.

A further curiosity: all their black pipes are handmade (probably because they are rusticated). As soon as possible, for completeness of information, we will try to obtain some specimens for an evaluation.
