What are morta pipes?

Burnt wood is a semi-fossil that is thousands of years old, generally oak, and dark grey in colour. Most of this wood comes from Irish peat bogs. In vast areas of the country, entire forests of pine, oak, elm and yew trees are preserved under a blanket of peat. The acidic conditions and lack of oxygen have ensured the eternal preservation of these trees. It is very likely that this was the first type of wood used for pipe making. Being a fossil, it is difficult to work with as it tends to splinter, which means that production waste is high and the final cost of the pipes is affected. The advantages of these pipes are their lightness and the neutral taste of the smoke, similar to that of meerschaum pipes.
