The new, Corncob Snob Society Natural Freehand is without a doubt the coolest smoking, driest, and best corncob pipe I’ve ever smoked. It comes in a white or reddish tone bowl, and the feel of the natural cob in your hand seems to add to your overall smoking experience. Each of these Corncob Snob Society Natural Freehands is imprinted with Corncob Snob Society on the shank, and is hand assembled, making the slightly premium price a bargain. The Freehand is one of the finest cobs I have smoked in over 50 years. | The new, Corncob Snob Society Natural Freehand is without a doubt the coolest smoking, driest, and best corncob pipe I’ve ever smoked.

Missouri Meerschaum now offers, in limited numbers. natural versions of many of their line of cobs. They're in such short supply that you have to call the factory and speak to Marilyn to order them | |||
The standard Freehand, which is plastered and burnished, is also very impressive. It delivers an excellent, cool and dry smoke. Maybe it’s because of the tall, conical shaped bowl, which is 2 1/4“ deep, but the pipe seems to enhance the flavor of any blend I smoke in it. I have heard that the shanks can be fragile, but the bowls are quite large, and no two are alike. Although the Freehand is heavier than my other cobs, it’s very well balanced, so that the weight isn’t even noticed. | The standard Freehand, which is plastered and burnished, is also very impressive.
