Missouri Meerschaum - Cobbit Corn Cob Tabacco Pipe - Shire Cobbit

I own about 20 pipes and can say this is by far my favorite corn cob pipe I have ever had. Well worth the money, you won’t regret this awesome pipe.

Nice size, very solid bit (I chew through cheap acrylic corn cob stems way too fast) and the extra length makes for a nice comfy smoke. Corn cob pipes were always my go to for work/travel, I hate the look of them, but they are good cheap smokers and if they got lost or damaged it wouldn't scar my soul like the time I dropped a Peterson military pipe out of my truck without knowing it and ran it over. Apologies for the pun but this pipe is a lot less corny looking than most cheap corn cobs, and smokes like much more expensive briar pipe. All the comfort of a churchwarden without going full Gandalf.

I've had this for over a month now. I bought it as an inexpensive way of exploring churchwardens. I know this isn't a full on churchwarden, but I figured it would give me a good idea of what they would be like. Turns out, I LOVE this pipe. It is my favorite pipe to smoke now (over another cob and two briars I own). The only thing is that the bowl is a little on the small side. That wouldn't be a problem except that I like smoking this pipe so much that I'm always a little sad when I get down to the bottom. This would make an awesome gift for someone new to pipe smoking. It isn't a huge investment like most pipes, so if s/he doesn't like it, it isn't a major loss. It's forgiving (for new smokers), cool-smoking, comfortable to hold in hand, easy to pack, easy to clean, easy to store and carry (since it's smaller than a full churchwarden), and even aesthetically pleasing in its down-to-earth way.

Very fast delivery. This cob is one of many I have purchased from Missouri Meerschaum. This cob would be well suited for the beginner as it provides a very smooth cool smoke. It has a decent size bowl that lasts the better part of an hour. The stem is well build and fits snugly. Unfortunately I did have to do some maintenance as soon as I received it. The hole from the wood stem as it entered the heel of the bowl was not completely smooth. It had clearly not been cut properly restricting the draw significantly. The pick of a Czech tool was easily able to break off the excess wood. Overall a great smoking pipe!

Buy this. Just buy it. For less than $30, this is one of the best-smoking pipes I own. It looks like something Gandalf might smoke, but not to the point of being out of place in an everyday setting. I believe in posting accurate reviews: The bowl is actual cob that seems to be impregnated with some kind of an epoxy resin. This makes it very durable, but a bit on the heavy side. Because of this, it will also eventually get hotter than my other cob pipes. The fit and finish are a little rough, (but congruent with a pipe in this price category). In spite of this, I had to give it full marks for providing a long-burning, cool smoke with minimal bite. It makes for a great conversation piece (I've recieved many compliments on it), and it makes for a great travel pipe (if it breaks or is lost/stolen you're not missing a $200 meerschaum)... Overall, it's an interesting and uniquely beautiful pipe for an outstanding price.

I like the shape of the bowl and the length of the stem. It like every other Missouri Meerschaum pipe I own is a good smoker. It does not influence the taste of the tobacco blend. The pipe is sold at a premium (as corn cob pipes go) but is made just like their less expensive pipes. Glue is slopped everywhere, the hardwood plug was not mounted straight and flush so there is a sharp edge that my fingers continually catch on. It is distracting and annoying. Same goes for the ferrule. It is not well fitted. I have noticed this sloppy work with several of their more expensive pipes. Having said all that, I enjoy smoking it but I’d enjoy it more if they’d take a little pride in their work and pay more attention when putting them together.

Love MM products. Perfect price for a great product. Easy to hold, and burns very well.

This was the MM Cobbit I was after, so was pleased to see it available through Amazon. The maple stem was a little on the short side though on my example, shorter than say on the Country Gentleman I purchased at the same time. If anything it should be longer or at least the same length. The appeal of this Cobbit is in the semi-Church Warden length, and either the maple or plastic stem components (or both) would — to my tastes — need to be a bit longer (and I think they probably have been in the past from online images and reviews) as the Shire received was a bit short from what was expected. Nevertheless an nice addition to the MM collection.
