About

Plymouth Rock is a small business specializing in corn cob pipes. I hope to offer a selection of briar pipes and accessories in the near future. You can rest assured, all of my inventory is sourced directly from Missouri Meerschaum (and soon, Laudisi). I only offer genuine products. I visually inspect each and every pipe in my inventory prior to shipment to ensure that you receive only quality pipes. I aim to offer a quality pipe at a fair price.

I chose the name Plymouth Rock in honor of the brave souls who made the Mayflower journey in 1620. The pilgrims battled storms at sea, sickness, hunger, and the blistering cold winter as they sought to establish their new home. They left family, friend and country to seek out that place where they could worship freely. They did it all with an unyielding spirit, leaning solely on God’s provision. They were a people of worship, honest work, community, and thankfulness.

I opened this store because I love pipes and pipe smoking. It’s been such a profound joy of my lifetime that I couldn’t resist sharing it. In a world that is so high speed, addicted to instant gratification and dopamine spikes, it forces you to slow down. Smoking a pipe doesn’t magically make someone smarter, more introspective or sophisticated, but it certainly seems to lend itself to those things. 

But there’s something else, something more profound in my opinion. It’s this quiet enjoyment of life’s simple pleasures. A cup of hot coffee, the crackle of a fire in your own fireplace, the smell of freshly baked bread. It’s these homely comforts that pipe smoking perfectly captures. I know there’s something to the whole “intellectual, thinking man” image of the pipe smoker but try as I might I can’t claim it. I can only sit quietly and be thankful for what I’ve been given.

Pipe smoking has been one of the great pleasures of my life, and it’s my honor to share it with you in some small way. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or seeking to purchase your first pipe, welcome and thank you for visiting the store.
