Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipe
FREEHAND (Black Finish) Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipe
Choice Of Unfiltered Acrylic Bit or the economical Danish Bit.
Distinctive and quite large, this one of a kind pipe is unique in that it is one of the few Missouri Meerschaum pipe styles which is entirely handmade!
It features a classic dark stained cob bowl with a genuine hardwood bottom to prevent premature burn-through! It also boasts an American Birch hardwood stem and is now available with your choice of either a bent unfiltered premium acrylic bit (mouthpiece) or the popular plastic bent “Danish” bit, which for the first time allows the Freehand to accept the popular Medico filters.
This is truly a classy collectible pipe and we know from experience that it makes a great gift for that hard-to-buy-for Man, Groom, and Groomsmen or for the Father of the Bride and Father of the Groom.
Here's a video that I shot in 2011 after Missouri Meerschaum made the change to the Freehand pipe. In this video I discuss aftermarket bits and the advantages of our old vulcanized rubber bit. This has been replaced by an acrylic version of the same shape and size.
NOTE: The tenon on the acrylic Freehand Bit was recently changed, which required a slight enlarging of the hole in the wooden shank (or stem, as MM calls it). That means that when the pipe is smoked with a Danish bit the bit may be a little loose. We have made a video on the subject of loosening or tightening a bit, which you can access from the video link on the HOME page, but it has been our experience that the wooden shank will tighten around the Danish bit after smoking a couple bowls in it.
