Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipes
Missouri Meerschaum has been producing the Rolls-Royces of corn cob pipes from its Washington, Missouri, facilities since 1869. It is said that the origin of these cool smoking, sweet-smelling cobs began with a local farmer who whittled a pipe out of one and enjoyed it so much he asked his neighbor and soon-to-be Missouri Meerschaum founder Henry Tibbe to make more in his small woodworking shop. The rest is history. Missouri Meerschaum grows all of the corn used to make its cob pipes, which are stored for 2 years after harvest to make the cobs harder and dryer. Production of corn cob pipes is time-consuming and requires many steps and a significant amount of handwork, so it is quite remarkable that the prices have remained so low over the decades.

The corn cob pipes in our selection are stained, varnished, spray-coated with lacquer, or left in their natural state. Plaster of Paris is used to patch any small irregularities in the cobs and the wood stems of some shapes are printed with ink to appear cob-like. Metal ferrules are hammered onto the stem, the propionate plastic bits are inserted, and a "Missouri Meerschaum" label of authenticity is affixed to the bottom of each cob. Images provided below are for shape and size reference.
Derived from a natural product, you may expect that each corn cob pipe will vary slightly in look, coloring, weight, and measurements. Please note that corn cob pipes typically do not have the smoking longevity of briar, meerschaum, or olive wood pipes. Enjoy them with this in mind and you will not be disappointed!
