Being a longtime fan of our Corn Cob Pipes, General MacArthur sent schematics to Missouri Meerschaum for a custom pipe. Of course we obliged! The MacArthur 5-Star Corn Cob Pipe features a shortened tobacco chamber allowed for an easy smoke, the extended bowl made the pipe easy for the General to use as a pointer, and the long shank provides a cool smoking experience. When we sent him his creation, he was delighted and would rarely be seen in a photograph without it.
Call it a quirk if you will, but the General would burn a ring around the shank on every new pipe he received. When President Truman relieved MacArthur at the end of World War II, hundreds of sympathizers besieged us with orders for the iconic 5-Star MacArthur Corn Cob Pipe, and MacArthur’s creation became a legacy. Today we still burn a ring around the shank in his honor.

"Thanks again for everything you guys. I\'m always pleased by the hospitality you guys practice. Discovering you guys has lowered my smoking cost tremendously and, though I know it\'s a vice (opinionatedly debatable), makes it tremendously easier on a full time college student, and papa of four little humans, to afford smoking and supporting school/family. Sending my enormous gratitude. "
