Mission Briar

Mission Briar was a brand created during WW II, which disappeared soon afterwards. In 1941, due to the difficulty of importing brair, Kaufmann Bros. & Bondy, through Kaywoodie, and the Reiss-Premier Co., started making pipes out of Manzanita burls, known as "mission briar".The Pacific Briarwood Company, a Kaufmann Bros. & Bondy subsidiary, owned plantations of the bush in the Santa Cruz mountains in California. As the quality of the wood was not as good as briar, the project was abandoned soon after the war.From Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks, by José Manuel Lopes
Monterey pipes were made using Mission Briar by Kaywoodie.

Missouri Meerschaum

Missouri Meerschaum Company
 
Washington, Missouri has long been known as the "Corn Cob Pipe Capital of the World." It was the Missouri Meerschaum Company, still the world's oldest and largest manufacturer of the cool, sweet-smelling corn cob pipes, that began the tradition for which Washington became famous.
In 1869 Henry Tibbe, a Dutch immigrant woodworker, first began production of the corn cob pipe. Legend has it that a local farmer whittled a pipe out of corn cob and liked it so much he asked Henry Tibbe to try turning some on his lathe. The farmer was well-pleased with his pipes so Henry made a few more and put them for sale in his shop. They proved to be such a fast selling item that soon Tibbe spent more time making pipes for his customers than working with wood. Soon Tibbe went into full time production of corn cob pipes. In 1907, the H. Tibbe & Son Co. became the Missouri Meerschaum Company.
The word Meerschaum is taken from a German word that means "sea foam". It is a Turkish clay used in high grade pipes. Tibbe likened his light, porous pipes and their cool smoke to that of the more expensive meerschaum pipes and coined the name "Missouri Meerschaum" for his pipes. Tibbe and a chemist friend devised an innovative system of applying a plaster-based substance to the outside of the corn cob bowls. In 1878, Tibbe patented this process.
A nationwide distribution system was established for the sale of his pipes. Other pipe firms also developed; by 1925 there were as many as a dozen corn cob pipe companies in Franklin County, most of them in Washington. Today, Missouri Meerschaum stands alone as the first and only surviving piece of the living history. These gentle pipes are smoked and loved all over the world as well as being used as souvenirs, often imprinted with the name of the city, business or event.

Mitchell Thomas

Mitchell Thomas Trading Co. is one of the largest importers of smoking accessories in North America. In addition to offering their Mitchell Thomas line, they reintroduced the Aldo Velani line of pipes at the 2008 IPCPR Trade Show. 
The owner, Jeff Abel began working in his family's retail smoke shop in Memphis, TN when he was 15 years old. During his tenure there, Jeff participated in all aspects of the business, from assisting patrons to creating custom tobacco blends. He even traveled to London to attend a Dunhill principal pipe dealers meeting. In late 1992 Jeff moved to Chicago to work for a cigar distributor where he learned day-to-day warehouse operations. Then in 1994 Jeff moved to TX to travel a 7 state territory as an independent sales rep for such companies as Phillips & King and Savinelli. For 6 and a half years Jeff traveled 1000's of miles cultivating his customer base and selling millions of dollars worth of tobacco products.
While on the road, Jeff recognized a need for value priced accessories that were not a part of his rep lines. None of his partner companies expressed interest in sourcing such wares, so Jeff took the initiative and did it himself. Within a few years he accumulated enough items to form his own operation. In 1998 he officially founded Mitchell Thomas Trading Co. and took on a single employee, his wife Laurie. Initially the couple ran the fledgling company from their home, but eventually it grew large enough to move into a small office. These days Mitchell Thomas operates out of an 8,100 sq ft facility in Memphis, TN.
Mitchell Thomas Trading may have had humble beginnings, but today the company sells a vast line of pipes and smoke shop accessories to retail tobacco stores all across the country--even abroad. Other wholesalers like Phillips & King and Music City also distribute Mitchell Thomas merchandise. The Abels own several well-known brands such as Aldo Velani, Sasieni, Friend Holder and Lil Cus, but they import, control and brand most of their products under their own name.
Although Mitchell Thomas has grown into an internationally recognized company, it's retained a personal touch. Jeff and Laurie still operate the business as a couple, and their only full time employees are their six cocker spaniels--better known as the Welcome Wagon. The warehouse is essentially "home sweet home" 7 days a week. But the Abels will do whatever it takes to maintain the level of superior service that has become synonymous with the Mitchell Thomas name. Quality merchandise at an affordable price will always be their top priority.
TO HONOR THE MEMORY-- The Abels chose to name their business after Jeff's brother Mitchell Abel, who passed away in 1986 and Laurie's father Thomas Jones, who passed away in 1987.
Their list of partners includes the following brands:
* Aldo Velani
* Frien Holder (Tar/Nicotine Filtering System)
* GBD
* Graco
* Li'; Cus (take-along cuspido)
* Sasieni

Molina pipes has it's origins in Barasso in Lombardy. It was born from what was left of the old Rossi pipes factory, that started in the early 1900s. Molina's inheritance from Rossi pipes does not only consist of the factory but also the machinery and methods of production.

Monarch

Monarch Pipe Co. was established in Hartford Con, most likely in the late 1930 by Fred Warnke, who obtained a patent on the system pipe on January 22 1935. The company moved to Tulsa Oklahoma at some point in the 1950s, after which Monarch Pipe Co was moved to Bristow, Oklahoma. The Monarch Pipe Co. also makes E.A.Carey Magic Inch and Duncan Hill Aerosphere Pipes.

Monterey

World War II brought about many changes at Kaywoodie, as it did at most other American companies. Faced with shortages of briar and aluminum, the company used expedient sources and methods to maintain production. The most notable of these was the Kaywoodie Mission Briar pipe, which used manzanita burl harvested in California. These pipes are stamped Monterey and Mission Briar, with the white logos, some with bars and dots in the end, in various configurations. Most were not stamped with shape numbers.
I have a 1946 Monterey Pipes pamphlet that also has Kaufmann Bros. & Bondy printed on it. There were 4 grades shown in the pamphlet. The highest price was the "Forty-Niner". It came in a natural finish with a wide aluminum ferrule like the Kaywoodie Centennials and Ninety-Fiver. The stem logo was two offset lines running in the lengthwise direction on the side of the stem. They were priced at $10. Next was the Carburetor Virgin Grain Monterey. Same stem logo as the Forty-Niner, but without the wide aluminum ferrule, priced at $7.50. The Specimen Grain was a medium brown color with a stem logo on the side of the stem. It was one long line with a small dot at the end closest to the briar shank. Price $5. The last in the line was the Select Grain, priced at $3.50, these were dark plum color and had a stem logo on top of the stem that was one thin line running across the stem.
"Mission Briar" is the common denomination for wood from Manzanita burl (Fam: Ericaceae), a shrub growing in California (USA). During WWII, when Briar was rare, it was used by Reiss-Premier Co. and KB&B (Kaufmann Bros. & Bondy) (Monterey line). Courtesy [http://pipephil.eu/ Pipephil

Montgomery

Montgomery Handmade Pipes
Jeremiah W. Montgomery about his pipemaker's career:
"I began making pipes when I lived in Southmont, a small suburb of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. I had been smoking a pipe for almost two years at that point, and a friend - also a pipe smoker - suggested that we try our hand at making our own. And so was born the Southmont Pipe Company, which operated in the basement garage of my house until early 2006. The pipes I made during this time are stamped with a stylized fusion of the letters 'S' and 'P'.
When I moved to Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania in mid-2006, I decided to set up a new pipe shop. Since I was now operating on my own, however, I decided that a new name was needed. I decided to call the new enterprise after myself: Montgomery Handmade Pipes. At the same time that I set up the new shop, I also undertook numerous improvements to my engineering process. The results are pipes that are several orders of magnitude improved over my previous endeavors.
All of my new pipes are stamped with the letters 'MHP' followed by a four-digit code. The first two digits tell the year of creation, and the second two tell the pipe's order in that year's series. For example, a pipe stamped "MHP0601" would be the first pipe made in 2006."

Moonshine Pipes

From the carver's webpage: Moonshine Pipe Company was founded in Charlottesville, Virginia in a tiny 8x10' shed by Jonathan Lavezzo. After spending most of his life in the carpentry/construction industry and narrowly surviving a bad motorcycle accident, Jonathan decided he wanted a profession that was less stressful on his mind, body, and soul. Jonathan has always been the creative type, and has always had a love of working with wood. 
 
Moonshine Pipe Company has quickly recieved a lot of attention from his peers, and has been featured on multiple radio shows, blogs, and has recently developed his own pipe tobacco blend through pipesandcigars.com.
 
Jonathan states: "People are my passion, making pipes for them is my profession."

Morta

thumb|Morta Pipe
Morta, also known as Bog Oak or Abonos, is another form of wood used to make tobacco pipes.
This wood, however, has been preserved by being buried in peat bogs, sometimes for hundreds of years or more.
The material represents the early stages of wood's fossilization, and as a result the material is nearly 12% mineral in content, making it highly resistant to burnout.
It is also praised for a neutral taste caused by the removal of all tannins, resins and the like from the wood during its long period of submersion.
Several pipe makers are using Morta, which is an excellent material for pipe making.
Morta, or bog oak, is partially petrified oak that comes from trees that have fallen into peat bogs.
Being buried in the peat bog preserves the wood from decay due to the bog's acidity and anaerobic conditions.
Over the course of time, tannins are leached out, leaving the wood in the early stages of fossilization.
If the process continues, the wood would eventually turn into lignite and coal, a process that takes millions of years.

Davorin is a pipemaker from Croatia who is also using Morta on a regular basis. He explains the material in his article What is abonos – morta?. In addition to Black Morta, Davorin uses "Copper" and "Golden" Morta.

Trever Talbert, maker of "The Scallop", a beautiful example of a Morta pipe pictured below, has made Morta a regular part of his work. Examples of Trever's Morta pipes can be seen in Trever's Morta Pipe Gallery. Trever also describes the process of finding, harvesting, curing, and making pipes from Morta in Creating Pipes From Morta.

Mountbatten

Mountbatten is often refered to as a Charatan second, but apparently the Mountbattan pipes were made by Charatan apprentices. So while they are not Charatans, they are perhaps on their way to becoming Charatans. A second would tend to be a pipe with a deficiency (in material or workmanship), a Mountbatten would perhaps be closer to a Charatan in quality. 
The following is originally from a pipes.org forum post by Bill Ramsey.
“Friends, after 40 years of nosing around pipes, what I have gleened is this: Charatan sold its seconds under private labels and later acquired the English rights for Ben Wade for just this purpose. Mountbatten, on the other hand was not a “second”(in that there was some physical deformity in the pipe) but rather a first line production from Charatan’s apprentice program. Each Charatan carver might have four or six apprentices at any one time of various skill levels. As they improved and started cutting pipes themselves, these pipes had to move… thus the Mountbatten. These were made on Charatan tooling with Charatan materials and teaching. Bear in mind that there was a high attrition rate and , perhaps, one apprentice in nine or ten made it to cutting their own bowls much less a Charatan carver. This is why you see more Charatans than Mountbattens on the market. You’re never going to put your kid through college by selling one but you’ve got a day to day workhorse of the first order. Good luck and happy puffing.”
Pretty interesting!

Mr. Andersen

It had previously been reported that Jørgen Larsen made Mr. Andersen pipes. However David Field, the importer for Larsen states, "Jørgen Larsen never made Mr. Andersen pipes to my knowledge." 
As it turns out, there are two Jørgen Larsens making pipes! 
Søren Eric Andersen writes, "the brand MR: ANDERSEN was introduced by Remo Sørensen, a well known pipe dealer in Copenhagen. The pipes were made by several pipemakers, although I personally only knew one of them, Jørgen Larsen, formerly with Larsen & Stigart. It is unlucky that there are TWO Jørgen Larsens in this small trade, but the name is rather common in Denmark. I was not happy with [them using] that brand [name] for obvious reasons, but Andersen is quite a common name too. With my best regards, Søren Eric Andersen."
José Manuel Lopes states in Pipes, Artisans and Trademarks that these pipes were also made by Jarl and Chieftan.
Nikolaj Nielsen, proprietor of The Danish Pipes Shop reports that Finn Andersen was the maker (or perhaps one of the makers) of Mr. Andersen pipes for Remo Sørensen. It is unclear if this Finn Andersen, is Finn Meyan Andersen, who was instrumental in setting up the machinery at the Briar Workshop, but that seems possible, if not likely.

Mr. Anderson

This article may actually be due to misspelling Mr. Andersen. Although there may be Mr. Anderson pipes around as well. We're in the process of sorting that out. There is no end of confusion about Mr. Andersen pipes, and perhaps Mr. Anderson pipes. Please see Mr. Andersen. 
Pipes made in Denmark under the name of Mr. Anderson have been around for a number of years, but it's been just speculated as to who made them. When Søren Eric Andersen was asked if he was the maker he replied. They were commissioned by Remo Sørensen, who had several pipe shops in Copenhagen in the seventies/ eighties. I know that Larsen from Larsen & Stigart made some of them, but there will have been more pipe makers involved. These pipe were with filling and standard mouthpiece, but a decent quality, and a fair price. It is thought that some were made by Jørgen Larsen and others by Erik Nørding.
