Well I have to say the 4 corn cob pipes I got from Missouri Meerschaum will NOT be the last I get. I used to think that these pipes were just a novelty and not serious smoking pipes. However after reading all the posts on this and other forums about how these simple and very inexpensive pipes can be superb smokers,... well, I just had to give it whirl. And I have not been disappointed! These pipes are wonderful and have a character all their own. You can't compare these to Briar or actual Meerschaum pipes, but that is not the point. The corn cob has a very simple way of smoking, no fuss, no break in, just pure enjoyment.
Missouri Meerschaum
I have smoked about 4 bowls using my new Missouri Meerschaum and they all have been awesome. I don't know, there is just something authentic and genuine about these little gems. They emit a nice sweet corn aroma when smoking which I feel adds to the complexity of smoking a great burly or English blend. bringing my nose closely to the side of a warm corn cob bowl and taking a sniff is wonderful,... At least to me.....It just feels right.
What has contributed to my respect and enjoyment of these corn cob pipes was to spend a little time on their web site and go thru their history page. Also take a look at how they make the pipes. And please make sure to watch the video from a news magazine touring their company. I promise once you read about the fascinating process they use in making and aging the cobs, not to mention the video in their factory of them actually making these, you will hold the cob in you hand say... "Yes I understand and get you Ye ol' simple corn cob! " The process is intriguing to say the least.
History
So I urge anyone to pick up a few of these pipes from Missouri Meerschaum directly and give them a go. Their shipping was super fast and I have not been disappointed. And you CAN'T go wrong with the price.
I'm a happy Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob owner. Just passing along my wonderful experience!
Enjoy all!
