This Blog is dedicated to Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipes in general, and specifically the Art Deco Aristocob Pipe. The Aristocob was manufactured from the 1960's by Al Cobb Corp, and into the early 1980's by Missouri Meerschaum. It featured a replaceable corn cob core in an aluminum Art Deco bowl. Still available from time to time on eBay, use the links below to connect with them. In the mean time we offer sweet smoking factory-fresh Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipes at www.aristocob.com

I just (finally lol) got my 2 new aristocob pipes. I just started smoking a pipe this year 2010, a Peterson my wife bought me for xmas. I bought 2 aristocobs to augment my peterson on its offday. I gotta tell you, a novice I may be, but this corncob pipe on breakin day makes the whole pipe smoking experience to die for compared to my Peterson. Thanks so much! Please pray for my daughter Laura.
Scott: I was watching one of the videos where you talk about "to cut off or not, cut off" the internal portion of the pipe stem. I have a Freehand of a plaque that I bought 25 years ago, (metal plaque on wood). Well the stem, inside the bowl is already cut flush with the inside. Are they still made that way?
Allan, That's odd. Every Freehand I've ever seen has the stem in the bottom of the chamber. I' just double checked our inventory and yep, they all have it too. Has it just burned away? Scott
Scott: The Freehand is NOT burned away. I just lit it for the first time the other day, after I found it among my stored items. It smokes great, I love the look. I guess over the years they laser engraved the plaques instead of the brass. and stopped cutting the stems inside the bowl. (I bought it on a trip to Silver Dollar City in 1985)
I just purchased over 30 new corn cob pipes at auction. I wanted to find out how to tell the age of the pipes. It came on a display that reads Smoker's Choice Genuine Missouri Cob Pipes. This display holds 24 pipes and has price range on the display from $.89 to $1.98. I do belive the pipes are at least 30 - 50yrs old or even older
I liked your video on the Medico Pipe Filters. It cleared up alot of questions I had about the filters I use in my corn cob pipe. What I found interesting was about the tobacco flavor muting effect, which I didn't think about until I looked your video.

Sir, what is your biggest traditional shape bowl? (I don't like the look of the long General/Macarthur)
Far and away our most popular pipes are the Gentleman, the Generals and the Diplomats.
