I'm pretty much a novice pipe smoker, and after reading some articles and visiting Missouri Meerschaum's website, I figured, for the price, what the heck. I've been more than satisfied with my one and only. It smokes cool, the "break-in" was fast and easy. the only fault I have found, is that the stem seems to shrink, making insertion of the filter a bit laborious. So here is my personal recommendation...get one. You won't be disappointed.
@Greg We couldn't agree more , Greg, thanks for watching — and for sharing.
MM offers an attractive range of pipe styles and sizes, something for (nearly) everyone, I'd say, and the pipes seem welcoming to just about any tobacco the smoker might have on hand. Can't say that about my briars which seem to have preferences. I have heard from smokers who don't care for them, but I'd say most smokers I've known have enjoyed their cob experience. I especially like the Country Gent and Diplomat styles.
I agree with the video and the comments. I must admit that I love those corn cobs from the very beginning when I tried the very first one, just for the sake of price and I was really surprised how perfect those MM cobs are. They're perfect for tasting new blends, they endure a lot, smoking experience is almost the same as from briars. Here in Czech Republic MM doesn't have much fans as in US, but this will not definitely stop me to buying more and more.
@KevinM Both great shapes Kevin, I'm with you.
@Alter Egon Well thanks for representing for your fellow pipe smokers from the Czech Republic :D
I like the "Marcus" I bought recently; clearly MM has taken some special trouble with the small but carefully made cobs. What does the "769" stamped on the shiny ferrule mean?

@Robert G They are a nice little cob, for sure. Not sure about the "769" but interestingly if you Google "769 nickel" it comes up with a nickel ferrule whose part number is M-769, so it might just be the part number.
