Missouri Meerschaum - Legend Corn Cob Tobacco Pipe - 5th Avenue, Bent Bit

First off, this pipe uses 7mm stem filters instead of the common 9mm. You can order the 7mm filters from Breathe here on Amazon, and if you keep scrolling, there are other choices. This pipe is made here in the USA, and is simply constructed. Since the pipe stem protrudes into the bowl, I highly recommend using a screen or metal ball. This will prevent crud from accumulating around the bottom where it will be hard to clean. Also, make sure you let the pipe cool down completely before cleaning it out to prevent cracking the bowl. Corncob is not as enduring as hardwood. But it smokes about as you expect a Corncob to, a bit harsh but still smooth enough to be palatable. It doesn't get too hot, as long as you don't pull it too hard. Tobacco choice of course is key here. Use a cheap tobacco to break it in, then swith to your favorite once it's built up a nice carbon coat. It's a small pipe, so you won't get much of a smoking experience from it, but it fills the bill for a nice moment on the porch at dusk, listening to the night style in.

I bought this pipe to smoke some Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic, the same tobacco my grandfather smoked, so that I wouldn’t ghost my “good” briar pipes. I could not have been more pleasantly surprised by how it smokes. The paper filter it came with is not great, but happily it works great with 6mm Savinelli balsa filters. I now like to keep a couple of these cobs on hand to try new tobaccos, but I have one that is dedicated to the Sir Walter Raleigh and it has never let me down. Whether you’re new to pipe smoking or an old hand looking to try a new tobacco without having to worry about ghosting a treasured briar, this little cob won’t let you down! I would suggest adding a 3/4” brass screen, though.

best damn pipe on the market.

Purchased for a costume but looks to be well made and not cheap looking, however no one smokes in this house.

This was my second pipe ever. My first was a MM Legend like this but with a straight stem (bought from Walgreen’s for more money than Amazon is asking). Both perform wonderfully. I am very impressed. I am new to pipe smoking, so I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on pipes if I didn’t like smoking a pipe. Well, it turns out that I greatly enjoy smoking a pipe! I even bought a Dr. Grabow Grand Duke pipe (inexpensive American-made briar) and like it too. You don’t have to spend much to enjoy a pipe. These Missouri Meerschaum cob pipes are excellent for beginner and experienced pipe smokers alike. The bowl is neither small nor large. Just the right size, I think. I’m not a fan of filters, so I always remove them. I find that my pipes draw better without filters. If you take care of your cob pipe, it should provide you with many years of enjoyment. Get some good pipe cleaners, a Czech tool (even a nail will do), some pipe tobacco, and you’re good to go! Don’t forget to let your pipe cool down for a while before you take it apart for cleaning. Things swell when they get hot. If you want to smoke more than a bowl or two a day, invest in more than one pipe so that you can rotate. It’s good to let them cool off and dry out between smokes if possible. I’m at the stage of the hobby where I’m exploring MM cobs, Dr. Grabows, and Mr. Brog pipes. All can be bought inexpensively and are enjoyable. Maybe I’ll ask for a Savinelli or Peterson for Christmas!

I normally smoke briar and switch off between different pipes depending on how I feel. Corn cob is kind of a staple so I thought I'd invest some lunch money and grab a classic.If you're a briar smoker, this is a different experience. The first bowl I smoked was just acrid. It didn't stop me from finishing but was not at all enjoyable. I let that pipe settle for a few days before I touched it again. On the second bowl I expected the same but that harsh rancidness pretty much faded away. The pipe comes in uncharred and raw and it needs to be smoked away. It didn't take long. After a few months it has remained enjoyable and fun to smoke. I'm new to corn cob so I expect this happens every time. Just know that it gets better very quickly.I do like that it fits Dr. Grabow filters which are easy to find and inexpensive. It stays cool and feels good in the hand. The bowl is not very big, but good enough for a decent sit. I'm thinking of taking this one camping.Considering its very affordable and performs well, its a fun little pipe to smoke and I'll continue to use it and buy more.

I'm a man, like a real one that can't bare children. My hands are 7.75" x 4.5" with short pinky fingers, this pipe feels like it was poured into my hand. The bent bit and bowl weight make for the perfect clamp. The bowl size is perfect for contemplating things like; When will the feed store stock Rhode Island Reds? And; Why are sorted hens $3.76 a head under a half gross? Or; My single cab is a truck, I'd be afraid to scratch one of those new $80K+ monstrosities; are they still useful trucks? And these hardwood pipe smokers go on about longevity. A MM cob gets 7-25 years of use. Even on the low end, at $10 a piece, at 21 years I'm in less than half of a briar....and the bowl doesn't get hot. Don't smoke for attention or fancy fare, smoke because you enjoy the tobacco. This is that pipe.

Has a plastic taste when puffing.And yes I removed the fake filter.Might just invest in a better pipe as this unit is too soft on the bottom and gets really warm.
