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, which allowed for an easy smoke, the extended bowl makes the pipe easy to use as a pointer, and the long shank provides a cool smoking experience. All appreciated by the General!
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 in 1951 during the Korean War, hundreds of sympathisers 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 honour. This pipe comes non-filtered with a straight black bit.
Please note: The finish of the pipe and the style may vary slightly to the photograph
