Missouri Meerschaum is excited to announce that our popular 2020 St. Pat’s Day pipe is now proudly named the Pot O’ Gold Corn Cob Pipe!

The Pot O’ Gold Pipe has a tall, cylindrical bowl with a hardwood plug and a green-and-cream-colored label on the bottom. The acrylic stem is a golden amber with an antique brass band that caps a cob-patterned shank.

Due to the nature of the corn cobs themselves, you may notice some chipping on the top edge of your pipe. This is perfectly normal and won’t in any way affect the way your pipe smokes. The chips only add to the charm and character of your corn cob pipe. Enjoy!

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.
