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!

The Elf Cobbit Corn Cob Pipe is one of two mid-sized pipes in the Missouri Meerschaum Cobbit Collection of churchwarden style pipes. The bowl shape is a taller version of our Rob Roy bowls, somewhat conical with a rounded flare at the top. Like all pipes in the Cobbit Collection, the bowl has a dark stain added to the coating, a genuine, hardwood insert in the bottom, a wide nickel band on the shank, and an Italian acrylic bit. The Elf is graceful and balanced, designed to soothe your spirit when filled with a bowl of your favorite leaf.
