Old Dominion: Laughing King

Product Number: 002-286-0007

Old Dominion pipes began with a nearly extinct heirloom Indian corn which brothers Bob and Bill Savage plus Laurel, Bill's wife, found to produce a particularly sweet, unique cornmeal. Bringing this breed back from the brink, and finding a healthy demand for it from amateur cooks and professional chefs alike, they also soon found themselves with a lot of large, colourful cobs piling up as well. Turning up archeological evidence that their Pungo Creek Mills farmland had been the site of a clay and cob pipe making operation dating back to the colonial period, an answer as to what to do with all these distinctive corn cobs presented itself. That answer, of course, was to hand-craft them into sweet-smoking cobs fitted with bamboo cane stems — pipes just like those the planters who'd come before them had enjoyed over two centuries ago.

Note: While all of our other pipes are photographed individually, these are not, and you may expect some reasonable cosmetic variation between the example we've photographed and the pipe you've received.
