Thanks to my dad’s mentoring, I’ve been a corncob smoker for over 50 years, and have written The Complete Corncob Primer. In this Buying Guide, I offer my opinions on the Missouri Meerschaum brand of corncob pipes, which I and most other experienced cobbers feel are the only decent corncobs still being made. While I have my favorites, and prefer Natural to Plastered bowls, every MM cob smokes cool and dry. Here are my reviews, starting with the largest bowl sizes to the smallest. Only cobs I have smoked are included here. | Thanks to my dad’s mentoring, I’ve been a corncob smoker for over 50 years, and have written The Complete Corncob Primer.

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. They hope to produce my Naturals as they are able to grow the larger cobs needed for them. | Missouri Meerschaum now offers, in limited numbers, natural versions of many of their line of cobs.
