The Shire Corn Cob Pipe is one of two mid-sized pipes in the Cobbit Collection of the new, churchwarden style pipes. It has an acorn-shaped bowl that’s not only pleasing to behold, but pleasing when held in the palm of your hand. Like all pipes in the Cobbit Collection, the bowl has a dark stain added to the coating, a genuine, hardwood insert in the bottom, and an Italian vulcanite but. The Shire is not flashy- just dependable and trustworthy- always there to help ease the cares of the day with a bowl of your favourite leaf.
