The Washington series brings the classic Legend shapes finished in the clear lacquer found on higher graded corn cobs. The Rob Roy shape features a wider and more rounded bowl, which tapers off towards the base, resulting in an almost strawberry or acorn to the bowl. The corn cob is filled with plaster and sprayed with a clear lacquer and given a putty base. Fitted with a black 6mm (Medico) filter stem.
Uses the 6mm Medico filter and can be smoked without (more common than with)
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.
