Description

The Mark Twain is the jewel in the crown of the “Hannibal Collection”, this beautifully shaped Dublin. The smooth finished is achieved by filling the bowl with plaster and applying a sprayed lacquered coating. The conical bowl is plugged with hard wood, which lasts longer than the putty filled offering. The black mouthpiece houses the 6mm (Medico) filter, which can be used to give a cooler and drier smoke.

Corn cobs have a slightly bad reputation, they are seen as the disposable pipe. A cheap alternative to briar and therefore inferior too, but thats not fair at all. The Missouri Meerschaum pipes are made by hand, using specifically bread corn. The porous husk allows for a dryer smoke, absorbing the moisture and like Clay & Meerschaum smokes very cool. Unlike Briar and other wooden pipes, a carbon cake is not required. The first few smokes have a sweet, nutty taste but after that the pipe holds no background flavours and always gives a pure taste to the tobacco. Many blenders (our self’s included) use Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob pipes to sample blends, for the neutral taste.
