It has a large, barrel-shaped bowl with a dark stain added to the coating, giving this pipe a unique and distinctive appearance. The pipe has a genuine, hardwood insert in the bottom of the bowl.Due to the nature of the corn cobs themselves, you may notice some chipping on the top edge of your pipe. This is perfectly normal and won’t in any way affect the way your pipe smokes. The chips only add to the charm and character of your corn cob pipe. Enjoy!
