Estate Bang-Is It Worth The Money?
If you are worried you paid too much, there is a good chance you did. If you smoke it, didn't mortgage the farm on it, and it makes you smile and not think about the price of the pipe, you didn't pay too much. This holds true whether you buy at the 5000 dollar range or at the 8 buck cob range...- hippiebrian

Not gettng the cob...
I don't know if they ghost lats because I don't smoke lats. They don't ghost burleys, Virginias, VaPers or VaBurPers for sure. If you don't like them, cool. Just giving my experience. Smoke what you like! If cobs aren't your thing, cool!- hippiebrian

How Do You Guys Carry?
"I just ordered this while I was looking for something to put on my belt and carry a couple pipes, some bakky, etc. without carrying my backpack. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FU8YSH8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I'll report back on how it works.

I have several 150-200 dollar briars I got before trying cobs. I am dis-inclined to grab them now. To each his or her own, I suppose, but cobs give me a cooler, drier smoke than any of my briars do. Yes, there is that corn thing going for a few bowls but I find it nice with my VaPers. To be...- hippiebrian

What Is Your Pain Threshold For A Pipe?
My first thought was "Pain threshold? What is he doing with his pipes?" Now, I have become one of "those guys" since I started on the cobs. My threshold is now 5 cents over the price of a MM General.- hippiebrian

Drank the Cob Koolaid
The only cobs I've ever seen in the drug stores were Legend sized pipes which had led me to believe that all they made were that size. Now the Huck Finns have smaller bowls which are great for a guy like me who can use it to extend a smoke break to 15 minutes or so and use it instead of a...- hippiebrian

Blue Ridge Vacation And What I Smoked (pics)
Looks like fun! I'm going to San Diego for a week next month, and plan to follow in your footsteps, minimum one bowl a day (hopefully more).- hippiebrian

Practicality of the McArthur Cob?
Try a General instead. It's a nice 2 hour smoke. Put a church warden forever stem on it if that floats your boat!- hippiebrian

"Do you smoke?"
Be careful if you say no on insurance forms, because if you are caught it can be grounds for denying any claims. Some will do urine tests and if they catch you with nicotine in your system and you did not state tobacco use, you are up the creek. Just something to think about.- hippiebrian

Getting My Wisdom Teeth Pulled...
Okay, I'm a bit of a rebel I suppose, but 4 years ago I had to get fake choppers. All of my teeth. In one sitting. Just Novacaine, wide awake. Let's say I was a bit nervous. The doctor told me no smoking the day of the extractions and for several days after. I smoke ryo besides pipes and...- hippiebrian

Drank the Cob Koolaid
Last night I smoked a General for the first time, sitting at my favorite coffee house. Filled it with P.S. Bird's Eye, a daily smoke for me. A very nice 2 hour smoke, only one or two re-lights (when I left it to get a refill of coffee), and nary a gurgle. Sweet and dry compared to any of my...- hippiebrian

Lengthy Tale About The City Council Voting To Close Our Club
This just floors me. In Texas of all places! Heck, even here in Southern California there is an exemption to the smoking ban for "cigar lounges". Seriously, I'm with you. Get the council to agree to allowing smoking in tobacco shops. Bars and resturants, okay, I can kind of see that, but...- hippiebrian
