The new Back to Our Roots line features the Zenon. This sturdy, filtered, feel good in your hand, Maple Harwood Apple Diplomat features a nickel ferrule and our new rich green Danish bit!
Named in honor of the Lieutenant-governor of what would be the state of Missouri, the Zenon is a pipe ahead of its time.
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.
