The "Aristocob" pipe 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. We've retired our old Aristocob.com site, where we offered sweet smoking factory-fresh Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipes, but I still smoke them daily and am happy to curate links to my favorites on Amazon.

I had the pleasure of meeting "Handlebar Mike" at the 2017 TAPS Pipe & Tobacco Expo last week and apparently a conversation we had stuck in his craw.
