Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipe
If you love to smoke a pipe, then you have probably used a Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipe at least a few times. In fact, some people like these pipes so much that they never bother using anything else to smoke their favorite tobaccos in. These pipes do not cost a lot of money, so they are the ideal choice for pipe-smoking newbies who are not quite sure where to start.

In 1869, the Missouri Meerschaum Company was founded, originally called H. Tibbe & Son Co. Henry Tibbe started the company by creating corn cob pipes to sell in his shop. He patented his method of fireproofing pipes in 1878, and today, the company produces thousands of pipes daily for customers all over the world.
Using a “Forever” Stem
Did you know that you can change the stem on a corn cob pipe? Walker Briar Works offers “Forever” stems that you can use when the original stem on your pipe gets too chewed up to work right.

Not only do these stems give you a great smoking experience, they also look wonderful, and you will probably want to have a few on different pipes, especially if you are a collector. These stems will fit onto any Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipe, no matter if they are older or newer models, so if you decide you like a particular stem, you can keep it and put it on all of the new bowls you get in the future.
