Description from the seller

Vintage Corn Cob Model Pipe "Corn Cob" (Pannocchia) - American Style - 15 cm - Light and Iconic

A classic Corn Cob pipe, an essential piece for any collector of smoking (tobacciana) items. Noted for having been the preferred choice of historic figures like Mark Twain or General MacArthur, this pipe represents the essence of rustic, traditional smoking.

Key Features:
Furnace (bowl): Made from real dried and hardened corn cob, a technique that makes the pipe highly porous. This feature allows it to absorb tobacco moisture, ensuring a mellow, fresh smoke.
Mouthpiece and Stem: The stem is natural light wood, connected to an ergonomic amber-dark resin mouthpiece, giving a touch of elegance to the rustic design.
Finish: The bowl shows the typical natural grainy texture of the corn cob, protected by a light patina that increases its longevity over time.

Technical Details:
Total length: 15 cm.
Weight: Extremely light (only 26 grams), ideal for holding between the teeth without effort.
Materials: Natural corn cob, wood and resin.

Condition:
The item is in good vintage condition. It shows signs of use inside the bowl and a natural patina of time that confirms its authenticity and historical use. (Please view the photos for details on edge char, a typical mark of a pipe with character.)

In addition to being an excellent tool for slow-smoke enthusiasts, it is a visually striking decorative piece for display windows or studies. Its lightness and timeless design make it a classic always in demand.

Shipping: Careful and protective packaging to preserve the delicacy of the natural cob. Tracked and fast shipping.
