The new Tom Sawyer is a nice small cob that is perfect for times when you want a quick smoke but do not have the time for a full bowl. The Tom Sawyer weighs .8oz and is light as a feather and will be the perfect companion throughout the day. This is Missouri Meerschaum’s version of a nosewarmer.
It is no joke. I enjoy this pipe for trying new blends or for sneaking a quick smoke. It is small so take that into consideration but if you are looking for a pipe for your car or if you are experimenting with new blends and don't feel like committing to an hour pick one of these up. worse case your out 5 bucks.
First off ... yes this cob is small. A toy? Not by a long shot. I've had at least 20 smokes out of this cob now and it is just a perfect short smoke. I keep two of these in my truck with some CH, PA or the like. It's the same quality as all MM's ... just smaller!
Absolutely love MM bobs, have way more than my share of them, and will certainly be purchasing more. However, this pipe is an absolute joke! Of course it’s my fault for not having bothered to read all of the dimensions on this pipe so I’ll take some blame for that. The pipe is so SMALL it is, for all practical purposes, nothing more than a cute toy! I’ve not even bother to smoke it simply because it’s not even worth bothering to do so considering the extreme small size of the bowl. Just because Tom Sawyer was about 12 years old or so is no excuse for making this pipe more fitting to a three foot Troll. What MM cob was thinking when they released this pipe is absurd and beyond me! Considering its price, no great loss, but nonetheless a total waste of money. Don’t even bother unless you need a pipe for one of your daughter’s toy dolls. P.S. The same applies to the Huck Finn pipe other than it being a longer stem. Bottom line… don’t waste your money on either.
