This new shape has been in the pipe line for a while, various shapes have been experimented with and finally a decision was made. This straight Apple features a round base and short saddle bit, the ideal nose warmer. Names after Phil Morgan (Missouri Meerschaum’s current head), who worked on creating this good look cob. Finished off with a smooth, filled surface and a putty filled base, with sticker.
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.
