Hello, I am a 25 yr old, newcomer to pipe smoking here. I have always had a tremendous appreciation for pipe smoking and it’s history, as well as the different tales that might come with it. I was so pleasantly surprised to find this company and their RUclips channel! Im sure I speak for a large volume of new, and long time, pipe smokers when I say this company and y’all’s story sure has captured me. I wish y’all the best and I look so forward to smoking a pipe in one of the next videos I watch.
This is how a company should be run! "any questions, just ring Marylynne, she's always happy to help" You're the world's most famous brand of pipe and I genuinely get the impression every problem you face is resolved by asking the nice lady in the back office to look into it when she gets a chance and I love that! Missouri meerschaum for president!
That isn't true, when a hole burned through the shank of my 30 days old pipe she replied this. ""It looks like the pipe may have gotten set down on something like a cigarette or other burning object. That’s really the only way to get a burn mark like that on the shank. Since the damage was not due to a defect in the pipe itself, I’m sorry but we won’t be able to replace it for you.""
My papaw, born in 1903 in the mountains of NC, used to make his own cob pipes as did his father and grandfather. Many folks around here did back in those days.
Thank you for that explanation of the name. That has thrown me off as I have a collection of Meerschaum pipes from Eskeshir Turkey done by Master Carvers. I have been scratching my head for awhile now trying to figure out how you get Meerschaum from Missouri! Now it makes perfect sense.
I just finished making my first homemade cob. It isn't anything fancy, but it makes me very happy. I'll still buy from MM though, nothing beats good quality pipes!
I have 2 of their corn cob pipes and so I really enjoyed them asides than other Briar pipes from every make and models that every tobacco pipe companies who makes them and I have them....but everything changed when I tried using a Radiator system tobacco pipes like the Falcon and the Kirsten pipes and I never looked back thereafter. I've kept all of my Briar pipes and some I sold them through eBay but I don't know if I'm ever going back using traditional tobacco pipes but I'm glad that I tried all of them. There' s just no such things as gurgling nor moisture problems smoking a radiator system tobacco pipes and the Majority of other traditional pipes just can't get around all of this including resting a pipe and you gotta have a bunch of piped for your rotation use and the Falcon and Kirsten pipes just doesn't need resting!
I was a bit put off of getting a MM cob because I thought I’d either have to mud the bottom or deal with charring the shank but I got around that with using Denicool filter crystals or meerschaum granulate. Love my MM cob pipe and have a couple more coming in! ❤️
This might help you? I do a honey break in on my cobs. I plug the stem with paper towel and fill the bowl with honey letting it sit overnight. Next wipe out most of the honey and pack with tobbaco and smoke that first bowl as hot as can be!! Hot as you can stand it! (Its like your tempering your cob??) Now after your 1st smoke the wood shank is burnt down perfectly and the bottom is perfectly mudded.
I'd love to see you all do some videos of the ins and outs of the factory. Love to see the faces behind the scenes. Keep making great pipes and I'll keep buying them. Great job y'all.
Kevin, thanks for the suggestion. We intend to do just that in the future. Thanks for the kind comments and for smoking our humble, but proud, corn cob pipes!
Was watching the video of your factory tour when I saw something very interesting. A decorative display panel made up of old pipes. Well, there were two panels, but it was the one on the right that caught my eye. In that oval-shaped circle, and just outside of it as well, there were several of what I would call "Bavarian hunter" style corncob pipes. There are four in the middle with about ten-inch stems, and eight on the outer ring with about six-inch stems. Curved bit, long stem, the bowl attaches to the side of the stem, not the end. Is there a chance of maybe a limited run of that type ever being produced again? I could, given enough time, possibly figure out how to modify a pipe to that style, (and have considering that very thing since I saw your video) but... I realize that such a pipe wouldn't have a huge buying crowd, they are complex, hard to carry around, and would probably be a bitch to clean, but it would be a fun pipe to own. Thanks for your products, I should be putting together an order from you here soon. I really love the look of the cobbit "Wizard'
Love my MMs. Only thing I wish would be added to the site is (unless I missed it) mentioning letting your cob sun bathe to dry it out, with stem removed of course. My cob started tasting foul after a few months of heavy smoking and cleaned it to no avail and after letting it sit in the sun for 5 or 6 hours it smokes as good as new. This isn't anything to do with design or manufacture, more the nature of a cob. Breathability makes a great smoke but it is essential to upkeep it seems. Keep on making great pipes
On that last question: I have read in a couple of places that when Mark Twain was traveling in and around the Eastern Hemisphere, at one point he was speaking to a Turkish gentleman who took his meerschaum pipe out of his pocket, filled it, and lit it. Twain took out his corncob and did the same. The Turk asked why he was smoking a humble corncob instead of a meerschaum. Twain replied that this was a "Missouri Meerschaum!" The tale made the rounds, and the designation stuck to and became the official name of the famous product of Washington, MO.
a popipe..( popeye ) and the Pappy his dad with a dvd of original 1929 popeye would be a nestalgig amazing gift set..i pitched my idea l and people LOVED IT!!
I love MM pipes! Are you guys ever going to make a 9mm filter version? I tried to make one myself; I survived, the pipe did not. Thankfully there was a glass of water handy & the fire was extinguished quickly.
Interesting to hear where the name Missouri Meerschaum came from. I always thought it was for the same reason Panama City Beach was called the “Redneck Riviera”. Lol
I’m sure it was a slave who constructed the first corn pipe since they were harvesting and picking both. Just a thought, since you mentioned every other possibility accept for stolen peoples from Africa possibly having a claim to the invention. IJS…
Missouri Meerschaum no worries any chance you folks will come out with more short stem pipes like the dagner. It's great for when I'm working outside (easy on the jaw). Looking forward to getting more pipes. Thanks!
Late 1600s... 1680ish.... due to cold winter and using cobs for other reasons including burning in fires. That is what I have been told as for creation of cob pipes (unsure the truth behind that or as to exactly who or if it was native american)
That was kind of a dodgy response to the first question. Custom grades and millenniums are not that much like the pipes today. Cob shanks, brass ferrules and great stems sure the bowl looks the same but it is not the same look and feel at all
- I'd be happy just knowing when the first Corncob pipe scene in use. - Do you still offer the 2nds in a Grab Bag of ten pipes for about $30.00? I sent you an email message from your Web Site with this question. - I have not smoked a pipe since my College Days, nearly 50 years ago. - Today I ordered your Country Gentleman Cob Pipe with a straight bit from Amazon. Your pipe will be my first smoke for a long time. I promise I will be gentle and loving to your virgin pipe.
Great question about the first Corn Cob pipe. We do not know the answer, but assume that the first use was by Native Americans who cultivated both corn and tobacco. The first commercial production began in 1869 here in Washington by our company's founder, Hendrik Tibbe. Yes, we still offer the Grab Bag. You can see it on our website for $33.99. We hope you enjoy your return to the pipe smoking hobby, and thanks for ordering one of our pipes. You don't have to be too gentle with the Country Gentleman, just make sure the tobacco is not too moist and that it gets a rest between uses.
With love from Russia dear MM.Smoke your pipes in a very cold winter in my wood home,works like watch.Thanks for your exicting.

Such high praise! Thank you, Jim.

I’m native, and I love corncob pipes, Phil’s answer will keep me a customer lol
I still have and use my first MM corncob pipe I bought at Thrifty's Drugstore about 25 years ago. Thanks for the video.
My papaw, born in 1903 in the mountains of NC, used to make his own cob pipes as did his father and grandfather. Many folks around here did back in those days.
I worked for Murray , Sons and Co. Belfast, manufacturers of Erinmore tobacco. Nice to see the product on the table.
Thank you for that explanation of the name. That has thrown me off as I have a collection of Meerschaum pipes from Eskeshir Turkey done by Master Carvers. I have been scratching my head for awhile now trying to figure out how you get Meerschaum from Missouri! Now it makes perfect sense.
Thank you MM. I love your pipes!
Love the video and love your pipes!! Cheers to another 150 years!!
I just finished making my first homemade cob. It isn't anything fancy, but it makes me very happy.
I'll still buy from MM though, nothing beats good quality pipes!
Recently picked up my first pipe of yours, blown away by the nice smoke for the low price. Cheers!

12:40 - ten bucks says that's a Casio A158 on that guy's wrist.
Great watch; best value for the price.

Also I love the table. Suitcase on legs!!!
Just watched your new video on you tube, it was really cool. Hope there will be more to come.
Thanks, Dave! We hope to do more in the future.
Dave Anderson. Thank you. I promise they will get better. Just like smoking a cob, this is new territory for me!😧
Great video!
What a great intro, well done boys!
Jesus, watching that guy (left) inhale his smoke is making my head spin
@Mr Beast Fan 69_420 yea I think so.
I love that these folks are making pipes for the green leaf now lol that kinda thinking is why this company is a missouri legend
@Missouri Meerchaum would you do a video on your MO hardwood pipes?
On that last question: I have read in a couple of places that when Mark Twain was traveling in and around the Eastern Hemisphere, at one point he was speaking to a Turkish gentleman who took his meerschaum pipe out of his pocket, filled it, and lit it.

@uptonsavoie
I don't care if it didn't happen.
I like it and that's what I'm using.
I love it.
@@dantealighieri799 I also like it and want to believe it true, and that's why I spread it around at every opportunity!
a popipe..( popeye ) and the Pappy his dad with a dvd of original 1929 popeye would be a nestalgig amazing gift set..i pitched my idea l
and people LOVED IT!!
awesome. watching here from Brazil
I love MM pipes! Are you guys ever going to make a 9mm filter version? I tried to make one myself; I survived, the pipe did not. Thankfully there was a glass of water handy & the fire was extinguished quickly.
Need to balance your mics a little better next time, Dan. ;-) But great info and a great company! Love the corncobs and their history.
My absolute favorite pipes, this company has turned me into a Cobb snobb
The idea behind Missouri Meerschaum is kind of like the idea behind the Compton Cadillac.
M. M. Best pipes ever!😀👍🏻 for smoking!
Interesting to hear where the name Missouri Meerschaum came from. I always thought it was for the same reason Panama City Beach was called the “Redneck Riviera”. Lol
Any chance of more pipes with a larger inside diameter of .80 or larger?
I see glue at the end of the shank/inside the bowl.. is that safe to smoke?
What exactly is the "plaster" used in your pipes?
What do you recommend to smoke in your pipes.... including if any of your workers smoke what is their favorites
❤
One of the few times Ive seen someone inhale a pipe
Still waiting on Episode 2. 🤔
I have a couple of your pipes think there great 👍
How is anything you do fireproof?
I have a suitcase like the one in this video.
i review your pipes and i have a great video coming up in about 6 days....your pipes are great smokers!!
awesome
Good product...i just buy one MM indonesian patriot...im thinking about buying that 30usd a bag pipe. Its not that bad condition is it ?
Not at all. They are perfectly smokable pipes with a small aesthetic blemish that we can't sell as a 'first', so we sell them as a 'second'.
Indonesian Patriot is my frist MM Pipe. I will buy more types of mm pipes as collections.
Stereo or bust!
What do you guys do with all of that pesky corn once you get it off the cobs?
In another video, they mention it gets processed into cornflakes and animal feed.
I_Dont_Eat_My_Friends yes your right I've seen that video and that's exactly what they do , so nothing is wasted and all goes to the greater good 😊.
God
I’m sure it was a slave who constructed the first corn pipe since they were harvesting and picking both. Just a thought, since you mentioned every other possibility accept for stolen peoples from Africa possibly having a claim to the invention. IJS…
Dang it camera guy keep the camera still hahahaha!!!
Sorry about that! Our tripod was the culprit! We'll do better in the future ;)
Missouri Meerschaum no worries any chance you folks will come out with more short stem pipes like the dagner. It's great for when I'm working outside (easy on the jaw). Looking forward to getting more pipes. Thanks!
Have you taken a look at the Outlaw Series or the Little Devils? Both offer a great smoke in the nosewarmer category similar to the Dagner Poker Cob.
Hi, one corncob pipe send me , I don’t provide in my country I like it very much but excluded

cobs i believe came from civil war soldiers needing something to smoke their tobacco with when loosing their pipes in battle

F the FDA and the left in general...
