Missouri Meerschaum Maple

Has anyone tried the Missouri Meerschaum Ozark Mountain Cherry Or Maple wood pipes? Do they require a break in like a briar? I love my corn cobs but was wondering if anyone had experience with these. My local B&M is always out of the cobs but has a ton of these in stock at all times.

They are nice smoking pipes for the money. I have owned several over the years.

Re: Missouri Meerschaum Maple

First understand that they are not made from maple or cherry wood thats just their finish. If i recall they are poplar.

I have two that i keep for goopy aromatics and they serve in that role well enough. Not much past'd that can be said about them.

Re: Missouri Meerschaum Maple

ok.. Good to know.. I guess for 5 bucks it wouldn't hurt to try one.. I wasn't sure if the wood used for the bowl would burn and give a bad taste.. You hear a lot of talk about how good the cobs are but nothing on the wood ones, maybe theres a reason for that.. Thanks for the replies..

Shouldn't taste too bad as poplar is a pretty neutral tasting wood. I only other thing i would say is that the bowls are thin (reason i smoke the cool wet aromatic in them and save the cobs for me burley) and that may cause some concern.

Re: Missouri Meerschaum Maple

I have a cherry and it is just fine. Lighter and smaller than most briars and some cobs... I use it as my shoveling snow and fixing auto brakes pipe.

It must take you forever to shovel snow with one of them. How much snow will fit into that little bowl?
