Missouri Meerschaum Ozark

Certainly not high end, but smokes good.

A nose warmer for sure. Draws easily, can see this getting hot without adjusting your pace. A tasting pipe I’m not sure, I think it’s a “favorite blend” sort of pipe. A bowl or 3 run through and vanishes is the “charred wood” taste imparted by breaking in such a pipe. For the money it’s a great piece. Bought 4 and maybe miniature pipe kits for my good friends.

Looks fine but I have a sore jawbone from holding it while I am walking

Decent

Good cheap bowl.

Good cheap bowl.

Fun conversation piece to smoke out of, gives a unique taste to any tobacco you put in it at first. Definitely not made to last forever.

This is a very nice pipe. I like the size of the bowl and also the flat bottom of the bowl. You can set it down and it won't tip over. It's easy to pack and smokes well.

great value been using them for years

For an inexpensive knockabout pipe, you can't do better for the price. This is the one I keep in my tacklebox when I go fishing . I use a 2 layer pack method with a small mesh ball in the bottom due to the smaller bowl, and it burns like a champ for 20 minutes plus, which is plenty for me. The bowl DOES get pretty hot pretty fast, but that's to be expected with one this shallow. I run a cleaner through it every 2 to 3 bowls, and it is the easiest draw out of all of my pipes, even my rather spendy ones. All in a all a great buy for the money

great pipe

very nice pipe for price...can't go wrong. Bill

A great pipe for the price. I lover the smaller bowl size as compared to some other pipes. I just find it easier to keep lit. Plus I'm using less tobacco.

good value ,brings back ole time memories

Good for quickie smokes,/first bowl of the day. Wager it would be a superb starter pipe for those transitioning from cigarettes.

Bent smokes better than the straight. I got this one for cherry aromatics only. Looks like stained maple or birch... not sure. Cool pipe for everyday. I like it.

I appreciate the price and the wider inside diameter.

For the money… a nice little pipe. Can get warm, gotta take it nice and slow and enjoy it.

Amazing pipe for the price … will keep buying and giving away to new pipe smokers … love this company…

Perfect size for work and easy draw very good for an every day smoke

Would preferred a bent stem but this is alright!!

Good pipe, will be great after seasoning

Great pipe

Great knock around pipe for a great price. I dedicated this one to my aromatic blends The bowl can get a tad hot if you puff a little too much. But other than that it’s a great pipe for beginner to veteran pipe smokers.

Best mini pipe made and great price

Great price for a great pipe

Great value.

Smokes well and Looks good!

Smokes well and looks good!

I like the pipe itself it smokes nice and stays fairly cool

The cob weight with the wood burn nice pipe

Only pipes I use. Hold up and last me about years and a half.. thank you.

Can never go wrong with a Missouri Meerschaum .Went with the Mini maple for a mini straight. For the price you can't really go wrong. But i don't like the overly small hole in the bottom of the stem. I grabbed this to sample my Balkan Supreme and it did amazing. Great even pull; Even with my filters not fitting it. I'd keep some of the longer version and the mini's of the Ozark line around for testing new blends and for friends no doubt. The mini's need better stems! As with most new pipes, the first smoke has a "taste" give it a good char, and no problem!

Good intro level pipe simple yet elegant look

Great pipes!

I really enjoy smoking this pipe. It is a good quality pipe, and the draw is great.

Very good value for the money.

Love this pipe. I named mine Buddy . Perfect size for that discrete 420 smoke. Fits inside a soft sunglass case and your prescription bottle of bud that the nose can't deny. The website makes it so easy to order several as gifts to your fellow OG smoker.

Not too small. Nothing bad to say, works fine.

As far as Missouri Meerschaum, you get what you pay for. As far as corn cobs go, they have the best you can buy, but still, each pipe needs to be slightly “customized” small modifications that vastly improve them. I like to slightly melt the tip, otherwise it has edges that haven’t been sanded or de-burred. It tends to irritate my tongue until I do this slight modification. I prefer the hardwood version that they sell. I’ve had several for almost a year and they take a long while to break in, but can eventually make awesome little pipes that are light, and can be gripped easily by the teeth. I prefer the thicker bowl designs, and eventually, you can see the tobacco juice infusion of the wood almost like a real meerschaum… Then again, it’s a $5-10 pipe, so what can you expect? It’s not a Stanwell but you better believe it’s worth the money. If you aren’t keeping it long term a Cobb is fine. If you’d rather keep it long term, do yourself a favor and buy the hardwood version

I'm very pleased with how fast I received my order, I will continue being a customer

Lightweight, smokes well

Always good service and products

All Ozark hardwood pipes purchased are well made and worth the money.

I had these pipes before and was always pleased with them. I ordered from pipes and cigars and got excellent delivery time.

This is actually a nice inexpensive pipe. I like the the wood color. The stem is nicely shaped. I've smoked it a few times. The bowl gets hot slowly. The tobacco burns well in it. I like the pipe a great deal. I reccomend it.

Great pipe for the price.

Better pipes than I expected. No unusual flavor despite not being traditional burl or briar.

The quality is great.

Order complete and fast delivery These people know how to keep customers happy Will definitely be back

Neat little pipe. A little smaller than what I thought it would be. Wife got a good laugh when she saw it. But hey it works. It is a handy little pipe.

I got it for a spare pipe but you can really taste the smoke better out of a pipe like this but it's just my spare pipe two more weeks I'm buying two pipes

It smokes better than some of my 50-60 dollar pipes. It is light and fun to smoke.

It is smaller than I thought. It looks cute but have not smoked it. Probably just going to use it for a decoration.

Theses pipes smoke better than any pipe I have used.

Attractive at an attractive price, and smokes well.

Cant go wrong for the price. Great little pipe for a starter. I love it and the angel of the stem is perfect

I'm not worried about stature or looks too much. I'm about founction and ease of use. This pipe is great. It's easy to pack and burns well. I also like that it's light. I'm usually working on thing in my garage, mowing or doing something else when smoking so my pipe hangs in my mouth most the time. This one will not make your mouth tired. It's also far enough out you don't get smoke in your eyes.

Good inexpensive pipe for afternoons out in the workshop. Finish is not perfect, particularly some sharp edges and flash on the stem, but a razor blade took care of that. I have a couple of these pipes bought at different times. Will buy more in future, as well as the value is great.

Love it Light. Can put it in pocket.

great, I like it and a good price.

Love this pipe. I wish that they would make one I the churchwarden style. The price is even more impressive 😀

I love this one. It has an eyecatching smooth finish that feels good in the hand. It smokes extremely well, nice draw.

good smoking.only drawback is the bowl is a little too small.

Works great for a work pipe. If you lose it or if it breaks it’s not a big deal. I’ll definitely be getting another for backup.

These pipes are a good quality. Goes good with the 16oz. bag Because it will last through the bag. Defintly a good pipes to use if you on a budget

Not bad for the price.

This is a great pipe for the money. It’s a smaller sized pipe and good for a quick smoke as the bowl isn’t real big. Very lightweight and comfortable to smoke.

Great mini pipe for the money. Smokes great and is palm sized.

It smokes and it’s priced right!

Draws very well... Size is perfect for my pocket at work. When smoking the flavor is smooth.

Let's be honest, she ain't winning any beauty contests. But if you want a knock around pipe that's not going to break your heart if it gets lost or damaged, and still smokes like a champ, you'd be hard pressed to find something better. I keep a few Ozark hardwoods on hand for trying new blends, or for freebies when someone forgets their own, or wants to try out piping. Never been disappointed with they way these babies smoke. I put an amber bit on one of these and after a couple years of using it as a go-to traveler and beater, it's turned a very nice deep shade, which has improved this pipes appearance immensely.

It's the pipe in the picture. If you want a knock around pipe that's not going to break your heart if it gets lost or damaged, but still smokes like a champ, you'd be hard pressed to find something better. I keep a few Ozark hardwoods on hand for trying new blends, or for freebies when someone forgets their own, or wants to try out piping. Never been disappointed with they way these babies smoke. Even with the straight model, I put a bent bit on it and smoke away.

Inexpensive and good smoke.

They last just about forever. Have you ever smoked a pine tree. A1 Smoke Shop.

I don’t write but I give the pipe 5 stars. It’s great for a quick smoke.

This is a great little knockabout pipe that is just the right size for an average length smoke. The price is cheap and if it gets lost or broken it can easily be replaced. I carry this one in the boat, hunting vest, fly fishing vest and keep one in my truck glove box. And it smokes surprisingly good. I like the flat poker style bottom. You can set it down and not worry about spillage if something else comes up. Don't get it too hot and it should last just fine. Highly recommend it for a spare or an everyday pipe.

great !!

This pipe is my husband's favorite pipe of the three that I bought. It is light weight and he enjoys the way it smokes.

Excellent finish and hand feel. Like the uniqueness of the pipe. Another Missouri Merasham hit.

For an inexpensive pipe, it does what is expected....it is a short smoke (for people on break), it is light in the mouth (for people with dentures), and it is an easy pipe to carry in your pocket......I am very hard on pipes, and this is the tenth one that I've bought and I shall continue to purchase them as long as I can ! The only problem that I have is that here in Vermont it is difficult finding the filters so I have to buy them in large quantities .

good work pipe fine tobacco

I bought this pipe without knowing that the stem continues into the bowl. I am not sure how to use it properly, but it looks great.

Well made.

I love walking around town with this thing hanging out if my mouth.

Again like the suze

Great color and look for a affordable hardwood, although you can tell its a mass produced piece, as the stain did not take to the fine grain too readily. The wood itself it rather light and very soft. I tamped out the old ash on my outdoor chair and it left a slight indentation at the crest of the bowl. Never had that problem with their cob pipes. The finish used is on the interior of the bowl, and the first 5 or so smokes I got a wood stain flavor, which was rather unpleasant. I would typically just set the pipe down after a few puffs and let it burn down, hoping the flavor would cook away. You get what you pay for, and for a beginner smoker this is a decent wood pipe so learn to smoke on and not worry about scorching when lighting or smoking too hot, but I think Missouri Meershaum should stick to their original perfection. The Corn Cob.

Awesome cheap pipe to have when your out roughing around and you don’t want to risk breaking your Peterson’s or expensive pipe. I’ll keep a few on hand for the new pipers that would enjoy are hobby.

Good knock around pipe.

Perfect quick smoke when I'm at work in the shop. Stays nice and dry .

Great pipe for price...smokes smooth..probably will buy more...can't go wrong.

It's a good everyday use pipe and I use it to test out new tabacco flavors. I'm very happy with it.

Cheap, Works

I use this pipe in my car and it’s perfect… straight no nonsense, affordable, an open easy draw …bought a second one in case I lose the first because I love it that much! Cheers!

GOOD SMOKE FOR THE PRICE

This is amazing pipe. It smokes great, filter is 6mm, forget the price, this is as good as a pipe as any high cost pipe. This pipe is made of birch wood. I have owned and smoked my pipe for 10 years, never has it it burned out, easy to replace the bit. .79 cents to replace bit. Thick walls, the cherry is the stain not the wood. This is incredible buy. Also buy from pipes and cigars.com, great company, incredible customer service.

Good!!!

Easy on draw, long lasting bowl , smokes fairly cool

I really like this pipe. Simple, no frills and a great smoker.

Very nice pipe for the price, extremely satisfied!

I love these pipes...all the Missouri Meerschaums. Easy to clean, smooth smoke and inexpensive. I have 10 of them and they last a long time..

i liked it

something different for me

Cool smoking

For the price, you can't go wrong. Excellent pipe if you want to try out new flavors and not taint your other pipes.

Like this pipe very much.

No fuss no nonsense pipe. Like the cobs from M.M. it has that genuine rustic simplicity that I find so esthetically pleasing. Like most pipes, it requires a few smokes to rid it of material flavor but after that it is a great smoking pipe. Unbeatable value.

Nice pipe. Can't beat it for the money. Perfect for beginners. Can run a tad hot at end but very good overall

Very good price for good smoking pipe...will buy more.

I purchased this pipe as a gift. The person who received it is very pleased with the pipe. He says it smokes very well, the size is perfect, and the weight of the pipe in his hand is comfortable. Great pipe, great gift!!

Just load and go...minimum of fuss and base. A good go-to pipe...

Great!!!!

It's a cheap pipe.

good==all the way around !!

Very good for the price

I have a lot of pipes and a wide variety. It's funny but my Go-To pipes that always give me a pleasureable smoke are the least expensive ones in my collection-- Missouri Meerschaums. This little hardwood is no exception. Great draw, smooth and easy to break in. Trememndous value.

Bought this pipe as a take along for outdoor activities. It was a great price and is a good smoke plus would not be afraid to loose it. I am not a fan of corn cob pipes but this is an awesome substitute.

A good pipe for those who are considering to take up pipe smoking. Easy to break in. Little or no pipe bite. Good value at a good price.

Great pipe!

Great smoking pipe at a very good price . This is my everyday work pipe .

Simple and works!

Good light pipe, clean smoke

Excellent pipe on its own but the price is a steal. Unfortunately, the mouthpiece is not removable which makes cleaning rather difficult. Smooth bowl with a clean diagonal cut of the neck into the bowl. Smokes well with a good draw.

This is a great pipe, not for the price, but for performance. I own a large pipe collection, Including Dunhill, Ashton, GBD, Meershaum pipes. This is my favorite carry pipe, don’t worry about, if it gets nicked, scratched. I have 8 , fantastic purchase.

Great value

My favorite pipe!

Can’t beat the quality, looks and draw and especially for the price!

Excellent quality, especially for the price.

This is a great little pipe! It is a smooth smoker and really comfortable to clench in your mouth.

Nice little pipe for the end of the day, before bedtime, quick smoke. Excellent price and great quality.

Quality is very good. The smoke is plenty abundant. Great little pipe for a short smoking experience.

A lovely pipe for the money!

A most excellent pipe! Walls of bowl are nice n thick. Pipe smokes great and will even accommodate a 6mm filter (my pipe came with a filter in it) The cherry seems to be superior in quality to the maple hardwood ( I have ordered 2 maple hardwood and 1 cherry) and the cherry is my favorite. Great smoking pipe for a mere $5!

Great pipes! When you work hard and want your pipe going with you and not being afraid of loosing or busting it these are the best! Almost as good as a hat. They are tough, have a great size bowl, and great draw stand up to hard landings. On a farm when they fall out of your mouth and land not necessarily where your gonna put it back in your mouth, well then best pipe ever. Buy many they are beyond just a great pipe.

These are great pipes. I use mine while working and it fits perfectly in one of my mail bag pouches along with my tobacco. Fits perfectly.So for a work pipe the price is right too, so if it happens to fall in some wet cement, I'll buy more in the future.

Excellent product for your money. Real wood bowl with no plastic taste.

I was underwhelmed

great pipe i have been using lots now

great pipe

nice flavor and aroma

I really wish MM made more wooden pipes. These things smoke great and are cheap in price. This is a rare pipe that allows for quality and quantity at the same time. I love the minis as well. Nothing like a smoke break with a mini Ozark filled with haunted bookshop.

Wow- The reviews are correct. Quality made and great smoking pipe for crazy cheap. I plan on ordering a couple more to have a few back-ups on hand. Need a nice pipe for cheap? Right here it is.

Nice even smoking pleasure from an inexpensive pipe.

Nice little pipe for the price. Good wood and easy to handle.

Works just as well or better than any pipe I have and in a small size. Fits easily in your pocket and can offer a 10-20 minute smoke depending. It took a bowl or two to break in and burn away a little of the shank but after that it's become my go to for a walk or just a quick bowl

Very nice pipes for the price!

Really nice pipes for the price!

Excellent pipe Good

It’s a great little nose warmer with a smaller bowl — Exactly what I was looking for to help me while away the time warming up the car this winter!

Neat little pipe. I bought it for Cannabis. Should last like 50 years or so lol.

I actually prefer this over my Peterson pipes. Doesn’t get that wet gurgle like some of the others. Can’t beat the price. I have 3 of them now for different flavors.

The size of the bowl, and the shape of the mouth piece that is durable and light weight, along with the extremely reasonable price makes this my go to pipe for the day.

I like these pipes. Light weight and nice size bowel.

smooth and affordably disposable

I like this pipe

Nice small pipe

Good little pipe.

Perfect sized pipe

Great little knock-around pipe for the price. It will need some work to break in properly given the nature of the wood and the stain. The shank on mine sits a bit high in the bowl, so I usually pack tobacco with the air pocket method. Worth the investment, so to speak.

Great pipes for the price, they are all I use, why give a hundred or more for a pipe that tobacco doesn't taste any better in

Excelente producto para mi negocio.

Good smoke out of the box 😋

This review goes for both the straight and bent varieties, as I bought one of each, and they're both fantastic pipes for the price, and then some. They both smoke better than my any of my $30-$40 corner store pipes, and as such have replaced them as my everyday work pipes. The plastic stems are pretty soft, and don't hold up too well being clenched between the teeth all day. But as replacement stems are only 79¢ a piece, I can't even call this a complaint. Just tag a few replacement stems onto your order if you're an all-day smoker like me and you'll be good to go!

Good pipe, great price!

Nice little pipe, it does the job.

Good little pipe! Can't beat the price of quality

It works

A decent pipe that I use working in the yard or while driving.very inexpensive so no tears when I break it. Not good for motorcycle riding

Good pipe, clean smoke but took a little long to break in. Toss the paper filter in and upgrade to a better 6mm filter or just loose it. A little off balance when trying to bite down but still an awesome value for a good pocket pipe.

I bought several this pipe in the pass , it's light weigh and good quality , and very low price . I will buy it again

First things first, I am a novice when it comes to smoking a pipe. That being said I really enjoy the weight and the feel of this one. It’s light enough to hold in your mouth but feels of quality. Best of all the price is right for beginners like me. Great option.

Good inexpensive pipe.

For what this is I really enjoy it.

Excellent small pipe, sturdy, smokes well.

I've had my pipe for about 5 years now. I love it. the price is great, never a problem with it. The stem will loosen over time, but that can be fixed. If you smoke this pipe with a screen, thumb pressed in, just below the bowls rim, there's no risk of over heating, and cracking the bowl. This is a great pipe. Trust me.

I bought a few cheap pipes to have a rotation and ironically this is one of the best smoking ones I own now

No one is going to mistake this one for a Savanelli, but then again, it's a four dollar pipe. Very comfortable to clinch, lightweight, very good draw. Almost gave it four stars, then thought about the value for money spent, and gave it the extra star it deserved based on that variable alone. Be aware that you are going to get a bit of an unpleasant raw wood flavor for the first few uses. Also be aware that goes away very quickly. Can't imagine a better little knock-about the yard or garden companion. I plan to buy more to "fiddle" with.

Great quality for the price.

Great pipe for the price. I was not sure if I would enjoy smoking a pipe so this was a very cheap investment. The stem removes from the bowl and comes apart also for easy cleaning. 6mm balsa filters work in the stem also.

a great basic pipe, at this price you can't go wrong.

Well hot damn, I thought my corncob was a great go to until I picked up this one. Nice deep bowl, great draw, smokes to the bottom. The bend works nicely for me (cant wet the tobacco when Im holding it in my mouth and doing various daily activities). Once again another one almost beats out my favorites. Well, for a daily it does, definitely getting another.

Great Price

My EDC to work pipe.

better than expected for the price

I use these for erveryday work pipe, as an auto tech I've droped and brocken alot of pipes. A cheap pipe that smokes ok is good enough for work.

Great value in a pipe! I’ve had to re-glue the three that I bought, but at that price no problem!

Fair

Fair

Good smoke

The bowl cracks after a few months. How can I fix it.

Not a bad pipe for the price, I have some more expensive pipes and I can’t tell a whole lot of difference.

I love how simple this pipe is no frills and definitely not glitzy. It's my everyday all day kinda pipe. It's made in Missouri my home state as well!!!

Great size, nice draw, smokes nice for the fist 1/2-2/3 of the bowl. Major flaw: The stem goes in far above the bottom of the bowl, and you are left with a lot of unsmoked and unsmokable tobacco below the draw hole. Most cobs have a mud in period, but the stem is cut at an angle and rests on the bottom of the bowl. This one is nearly flush cut with the chamber, and is a full 1/3 of the way, possibly more, up the chamber. Might be good if you use the "tobacco ball air gap" packing method, otherwise expect to waste a bunch of tobacco with each bowl you pack.

I bought my first one about three months back and its developed a large vertical split in the bowl although so far it hasn't gone in enough to admit air. Unbeatable for the price so I bought two more. Its just the right size for a pipe to smoke on the go, holds enough for satisfaction without being a pipe that seems to make a bowl last forever. Its my every day pipe, light, good looking and unbeatable for the price.

Nice pipe

Great little wood pipe. I have two (bought one, got one in a bag of MM smokeable seconds) and enjoy them both. They weigh very little, about the same as a cob. Much lighter than the filled cobs like the Country Gentleman. If you enjoy this hardwood give one of the east European pearwoods a chance.

Didn't realize it was the mini model... It's a great pipe, though.

These hardwoods break in easy and last a long time.

I guess the old saying you get what you pay for holds true here. This was a cheap pipe, and looks cheap upon close inspection. It smokes nice though, but I only smoke it at home so looks aren't that important. I still gave it 5 stars because it still functions perfectly and I have no REAL complaints.

I am from Missouri I try to support Missouri products

Nice little pipe

For the price, it's hard to beat. I like it as a working pipe because I don't have to worry about losing it or destroying it. Is it the greatest pipe? No, but it is the greatest 5 dollar pipe. I've had mine for 2 months now and plan on ordering a couple more. The stem is really soft and gets bitten up easily, but it hasn't broken. If you're just starting out or on a budget these are also great to put in your rotation until you can afford something better.

This pipe looks great. Haven't smoked from it yet but everyone loves the way it looks.

I bought two pipes from this company, the other was a corncob I gave to a friend. This is the once I kept, love it. The other was great too. The price is unbeatable.

It would have been 5 stars if it was a tad bit longer but it's my own fault all In all good pipe

this company and its products are great I highly recommend them for anyone looking for Greg tobacco and tobacco products I have ordered several products from them they have the best choice Prices and selection that you will find anywhere I would highly recommend them mark

It is as all pipes. Works great after cleaning. 6 mm paper roll filters, cut in half. full length will not fit after a couple bowls smoked. I do use clay stones & screen. after 3-6 bowls. Moisture & Tar cover everything at bottom of pipe. Moisture plays A Hugh roll.. To dry 2 puffs, & all gone and not any flavor. to wet and your basically lighting all the time. Also, on dry side pipe will burn up Quickly ! Nice little pipe.

One of my favorite everyday pipes . i purchase a couple of these at a time to smoke as my work pipes . if i loose or brake one in my pocket its affordable to replace . great taste from an inexpense pipe .

Get rid of painted varnish inside bowl for 5 stars!!!

Smokes cool and looks nice, but not quite the smoker a cob is.

This is my first pipe. I gave it a 4 star review because when I tried to clean it with the pipe cleaners in the box there was a piece of paper in the middle and I have chew marks on it from having to open it and find the piece of paper in it i had to remove. but smokes good now for the price

I really like it. Very light, and draws easy, stays lit very well.

good size

good size i like

Good value

I love Missouri Meechum corn cob pipes. But when I can't get one this is my go to pipe. It is quality, made by the same company and pleasantly smokeable. I highly recommend it

Good little pipe!

Nice quality

I enjoyed my first time use with this pipe. My first pipe is heavier and bigger. So, I was delighted that it was light enough so that I could clench this pipe and comfortably enjoy my tobacco without holding it as often. Although mine has a gap where the wood portion enters the bowl and smoke exits this gap. For a five doller pipe I don't mind that and plan on trying to either adjust it or fill it in somehow. The bowl is smaller than my first pipe that takes a 9mm filter. This pipe takes a 6mm. I don't have filters for it yet. I like the classic hardwood finish. It seems to be well made. The band on the mouthpiece has a grey band that I don't care for. Since I don't have experience to know what I like. I think I may try and find a saddle bent mouthpiece if I ever replace this one. My girlfriend got me a pipe with a saddle bend mouthpiece and I do like that, but not the actual bowl on that one. So, overall. I think this pipe is going to be fine for me. I just need to fill the gap, buy a 6mm filter, and hopefully find a saddle bend mouthpiece. For now it works just fine.

these pipes last about a year and for the price cant be beat

A little smaller than the legend and very light. Easily broke in and had no problems smoking to the bottom of the bowl with very little relights.

This is my first attempt at a pipe coming from a cigar background. And, I have to admit that I am hooked on the flavor and room note! Not knowing what I would find though, I decided to start with this MM Ozark model (bent stem, cherry color). First off, please be warned that the bowl is not 5/8" as the specs say; instead, mine is 3/4". While I actually prefer to have the option for a longer smoke, I ordered brass screens from the spec sheet info before my order arrived. So, needless to say, the screens are too small by an eighth of an inch. Also, after seeing a few reviews that mentioned the bowl's varnish tainting the taste for the first couple of smokes, the first thing I did was to sand the inside of the bowl with a Scotch Brite pad. (if you choose this method, be sure to clean out all residue before attempting to use the pipe. The green pads deteriorate slightly when used; and I doubt it will be a good idea to ingest it! Sand paper was my first choice, but I didn't have the right grit for the job.) After a good cleaning, I tried a bowl of molto dolce that I let sit for a bit to dry some. I was very impressed and did not notice any trace of the varnish at all. A minor thing that bothers me though is how tightly the stem fits. I have to really apply some force when changing filters--this is much more easily fixed than if it were too loose though... Other than that, I am very pleased with this pipe and P&C altogether. I'm very glad to have found a 'dessert blend' that actually tastes similar to its aroma. And, this MM pipe is a great place to start or to use on the go to avoid damaging a more expensive piece. Also, it's much more enjoyable to me than any cigar to date ;-) Thanks for the great selection and competitive prices PÐC!

Great everyday pipe .

Thought the corncob was the sweetest, but this was just as sweet. Good for a relaxing smoke if you just want a about an hour smoke, or for a trip out to the garden. Great on the tractor! Small size doesn't get in the way. I was enjoying black Cavendish in it.

you haven't answered my question about not getting free shipping with my order.

Nice wooden pipe for the price. Smokes smoothly and you have the filter to block ashes from getting in your mouth.

Great Pipe

I purchased both the Maple and the Cherry; they smell and taste the same. As I understand it, the “hardwood” used in both of these pipes is Birch wood (the same as the shanks on the other Missouri Meerschaums) that has been stained. The reason to buy one of these, however, is not the color but to get more variety in your pipe materials – you probably have a briar, a corncob, even a rosewood or clay – perhaps – and this is your chance to get a HARDWOOD pipe for $5! It is Birch, it smokes well (though it can get hot if pushed, and – as with other MMs – the act of charring the shank in the bowl can be unpleasant). The inner bowl and stem charred quickly, in just a few smokes. The biggest complaint is with the Straight/”Maple,” because that shank was not attacked to the bowl, so when I pulled out the stem to clean it, the shank came out with the stem. I have applied a drop of wood glue, smeared it around, and fully expect that to hold. If it does not, I will log in again and review the Maple separately (& negatively). Regardless, to get a HARDWOOD pipe for $5 is an remarkable bargain.

Bought this pipe with a corncob because my daughter bought me a cheap bag of tobacco. Not wanting to Funk up my Peterson's and Rattray's pipes with sub-par tobacco and being one who throws nothing away. I like the size being small and only holds a about 15 mins. of tobacco (about all I can handle of this crap my daughter got me). I read the review before I ordered, so did a couple of modifications before lighting it for the 1st time. Smokes a little hot, but all in all not a bad $5.00 pipe. Once it was broken in. It's the perfect pipe when the possibility of loosing or damage may happen when I'm out running the tractor on the ranch. I used a Q-Tip with some Irish Whiskey on it to take the hard varnish taste on the first couple of bowls. I would buy this again the time comes.

I've written a review on this pipe before, but I use the $5 maple straight more than anything else I've tried. It's very light and it works. 5 years usage and no complaints. Best kept secret in the world of pipes. MM hit the ball out of the park on this one.

A nice little pipe. I'm a beginner so there was a learning curve. But for$5 it's great!

Good value.

Howdy, I normally smoke corn cob pipes but decided to try a wooden one. This pipe smokes surprisingly good. Great value for the price.

This is a great smoking and durable pipe and you can't beat the price! The maple is light and strong

It's great . I got one and love it , I have more expensive pipes but I tend. To reach for this pipe , love it so much I ordered another , it wasn't as good as the 1st due to the Stem protruded inside the bowl a little further but overall it's still a great pipe , smokes great , makes great gifts as well , very cheap way to get into pipe smoking. I honestly wouldn't mind having more to put in my rotation

For the price, this is an incredible pipe. Looks great! Definitely worth adding to your collection.

Nice pipe

This is the second one I purchased. I love these. I would recommend them for everyday use.

Not a bad pipe for the price

As a new smoker this was at a nice price with a quality that I enjoyed. Would suggest to anyone wanted to start out or just something new.

For a cheaper pipe it. gives a great smoke.

VERY GOOD SMOKE
