The Emerald Corn Cob Pipe from Missouri Meerschaum maintains a deserved reference to Ireland, known affectionately as the Emerald Isle. It is also available in both straight and bent versions.
The Emerald Corn Cob Pipe has a tall, billiard-style bowl with a hardwood plug and a green-and-cream-colored label on the bottom. The acrylic stem is green with a white swirl, and the stem is capped with an antique brass band.
The combination of colors on this Missouri Meerschaum pipe are reminiscent of an Irish meadow, Irish cream liqueur, and a pot o’ gold!
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.
