Thought you all might find this interesting. The pic is of one of our Old Dominion "Laughing King" corn cob pipes. What makes it unique is that it's a purple cob! This is an oddity with our heirloom Indian corn as most of the cobs range from a "pale" yellow to a "brick" red to a "chocolate" brown. Occasionally we find a purple cob which is an apparent genetic mutation in the variety but often times the purple ones run a little small for pipe making. We typically don't find enough of these to market them but they certainly make a very unique corn cob pipe!
