corncob pipe

Hillbilly smoking implement

A corncob pipe is a tobacco pipe with a bowl carved from a dried corncob.

Inexpensive and lightweight, it's associated with rural American life and figures like General Douglas MacArthur, who was rarely photographed without one.

He sat on the porch with his corncob pipe, watching the sun set.
