Missouri MeerschaumLegend Corn Cob Tobacco Pipe - 5th Avenue, Bent Bit

I recently decided to get into the pipe smoking hobby because of a restoration video I watched on YouTube. So I decided to buy a cheap pipe and visit my local tobacconist. I fell in love right away with the flavors of tobacco and the corn cob pipe. The pipe itself is made in America and is cheaper than the 20$ Chinese pipes on Amazon which is unheard of. The only thing I don’t like is the yellow acrylic but it’s sturdy enough. You won’t be dissatisfied with the pipe. I’ll be buying some more corn cobs and some briar pipes in the future from other places than Amazon though so I can support local businesses.

I’m new to pipe smoking. I have been smoking my Grandfathers old pipes since he passed and they were left to me. I have enjoyed smoking them but do not want to beat them up around my farm. I had very low expectations of this pipe but it has really surprised me. I actually now prefer this pipe and smoke it daily, I don’t really want to lose it or tear it up but if I do who cares at this price. I will buy more of their pipes.

I bought this pipe to smoke some Sir Walter Raleigh Aromatic, the same tobacco my grandfather smoked, so that I wouldn’t ghost my “good” briar pipes. I could not have been more pleasantly surprised by how it smokes. The paper filter it came with is not great, but happily it works great with 6mm Savinelli balsa filters. I now like to keep a couple of these cobs on hand to try new tobaccos, but I have one that is dedicated to the Sir Walter Raleigh and it has never let me down. Whether you’re new to pipe smoking or an old hand looking to try a new tobacco without having to worry about ghosting a treasured briar, this little cob won’t let you down! I would suggest adding a 3/4” brass screen, though.

Dollar for dollar, probably the best smoke you can get. This was my first pipe, and I really liked the amber stem, not to mention how highly MM pipes are regarded by those who smoke them. And admittedly, it is a pretty good pipe, though not quite as nice as briar or meers, but you're not going to touch one of those that's worth smoking for a price like this. Used it at first to smoke cigar clippings, and it managed to do that well, despite the 70% humidity I had kept them at.Only drawbacks are that it has a pretty open-bore airway, which can pull some bits through, the stem is very soft, clenching has really done a number to it, and the metal ring fell off, but it seems it wasn't doing that much to begin with. Bit of corn flavor sometimes at first, but that's not necessarily that bad. I've mudded the bottom up a bit and it's a good smoker, had it not been I wouldn't have the others to compare it to!

First off, this pipe uses 7mm stem filters instead of the common 9mm. You can order the 7mm filters from Breathe here on Amazon, and if you keep scrolling, there are other choices. This pipe is made here in the USA, and is simply constructed. Since the pipe stem protrudes into the bowl, I highly recommend using a screen or metal ball. This will prevent crud from accumulating around the bottom where it will be hard to clean. Also, make sure you let the pipe cool down completely before cleaning it out to prevent cracking the bowl. Corncob is not as enduring as hardwood. But it smokes about as you expect a Corncob to, a bit harsh but still smooth enough to be palatable. It doesn't get too hot, as long as you don't pull it too hard. Tobacco choice of course is key here. Use a cheap tobacco to break it in, then swith to your favorite once it's built up a nice carbon coat. It's a small pipe, so you won't get much of a smoking experience from it, but it fills the bill for a nice moment on the porch at dusk, listening to the night style in.

It's not called the Legend for nothing, this is the "Go to" Pipe if you want to try a COB and don't know which to get. American Made. Three quarter inch screens and 6 mm Filters fit real good. Super light weight. Absolutely requires a break in period, this is normal for a COB, after that the Pipe is Fantastic, well worth the effort. Good quality and value for the price.

best damn pipe on the market.

Love everything about the pipe, but it came with a cracked bit.. and it really sucks because when I hold it in my mouth I hear it cracking more and more. And it's not worth it to order replacement parts because it cost the same as a new pipe. I assume it wouldn't have came broken if it was packaged in a box or something but it just came in a plastic bag. Love everything about the pipe, but could be packed a little better.
