As a comitted vegan, I'm going with the spinach munching Popeye all day. But big props to MacArthur too, a serious pipe man, and a serious strategist.

Was Popeye officially connected to Missouri Meerschaum prior to the Robin Williams movie?
MacArthur. On account of helping to keep the free world free, and being a real MM smoker and not being a cartoon. Popeye’s cool though.
Popeye man, after working in different countries, everyone knew about popeye and his cob pipe. MacArthur doesn't sell so well in southeast Asia.
Every picture I’ve seen of Einstein where he was smoking, the pipe was a briar pipe though. Did he smoke cobs too?
Ah, I don't know. Doubt it. Sorry; I lost the fact that it was cobs being specified!
Dang, I was really kind of hoping you knew of a picture with him smoking a cob.
popeye. That thing was practically glued to his face. And I don't have proof that in a fist fight MacArthur kept the pipe going. So have to go with Popeye. Oh and he is based on a real person too.
Was Popeye's pipe really a cob?

Even in the cartoonised character, the lattice-like texture of a cob can't be seen:
Could be a briar poker for all we know.

That photo was debunked and Frank Fiegel wasn't even a sailor. He was however a member of the Popeye creator's community and was the local bartender.Was Popeye's pipe really a cob?

My wife pointed out you all are missing the biggest one...Frosty the snowman....
Iconic? With corncob pipes? Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn immediately come to mind before the two aforementioned, but Tom and Huck are fictional creations of another icon, Mark Twain. He smoked them by the gross, if a certain reproduced sales receipt is to be believed. Very few photos of him smoking one though. Mencken is sometimes pictured with one. Guess I'd have to go with General MacArthur. There's a General corncob, and a Mark Twain corncob, but not a Popeye corncob.
