Missouri Meerschaum - 5th Avenue Straight (Diplomat)

The 5th Avenue is the classic tall Billiard shape, like the Legend but made from a higher grade cob, a little taller and with a hardwood plug. Fitted with a thicker stem and can be used with or without the 6mm filters. Sealed with plaster and given a glossy finish.

Corn cobs have a slightly bad reputation, they are seen as the disposable pipe. A cheap alternative to briar and therefore inferior too, but thats not fair at all. The Missouri Meerschaum pipes are made by hand, using specifically bread corn. The porous husk allows for a dryer smoke, absorbing the moisture and like Clay & Meerschaum smokes very cool. Unlike Briar and other wooden pipes, a carbon cake is not required. The first few smokes have a sweet, nutty taste but after that the pipe holds no background flavours and always gives a pure taste to the tobacco. Many blenders (our self's included) use Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob pipes to sample blends, for the neutral taste.
