Product Description
A nice compact design with a short stem, the Carolina Gent is made in collaboration between Missouri Meerschaum and the legendary blending house Cornell & Diehl. The result is what we think is one of the nicest looking pipes in the corn cob range. The hardwood plugged bowl has been smoothed nicely and a black stain added, a nickel band and dark red Italian Acrylic mouthpiece finish the pipe off. For such a compact design the bowl is a good size and will hold a good amount of tobacco.
The Missouri Corn Cob pipes remain popular today because they are inexpensive and require no difficult "break-in" period like briar pipes. Made from naturally dried corn cobs, they deliver the warm, mellow qualities corn cob pipes are known for, with a porous structure that naturally absorbs moisture for a cooler, drier smoke.
Missouri Corn Cob pipes are equally valued by both learners, and experienced smokers who simply desire a cool, clean smoke.
The cob may show some chipping on its rim over time this is a normal trait of natural corn-cob construction and doesn’t affect performance. Also note due to the natural materials used, the finish of each pipe may vary slightly.

History...
The Missouri Meerschaum Company is a tobacco smoking pipe manufacturer located in Washington, Missouri. It is the world's oldest and largest manufacturer of corncob pipes.
The company was founded in 1869 when Dutch-American woodworker Henry Tibbe began producing corncob pipes and selling them in his shop. Tibbes likened the pipes to meerschaum pipes and thus named them "Missouri Meerschaum." In 1878 Tibbe patented his method of fireproofing the pipes by applying a plaster-like substance to the outside of the cob. In 1883 Tibbe and his son Anton applied for a U.S. Patent to trademark their Missouri Meerschaum pipe. In 1907 H. Tibbe & Son Co. became the Missouri Meerschaum Company.
