A cool little video about the good ole' corn cob pipe. Whether you like them or not, they are another American classic and are experiencing quite a revival right now. The Missouri Meerschaum Company has been around since 1907 and was started by Dutch immigrant Henry Tibbe. Over 100 years later, there are still hundreds of thousands of Missouri Meerschaum Pipes shipped around the world every year. Enjoy!

Pure Americana. Iconic, simple and cheap; they will be around forever.

Interesting, on the display board behind the narrator I noticed a "cavalier" style cob.

Great video. Took me a bit to come around to cobs, but once I did, it was love at first puff

If all I had were a cob and some burley, I'd still be a happy smoker.

If I had started pipe smoking with corn cobs I might have no other pipe. Great video!

Cool video. I didn't like cobs at first, but now I love them.

Cool video.
Never much of a cob fan myself, but I appreciate the simple understated nature of them. Much to be said for a company that has been around that long and has endured quite a scale back as well.

LOL ... it's crazy big! It's the only pipe I've ever purchased that was not intended to smoke. |
