Make the hole round enough to accept an appropriate sized dowel rod, cut a small section of the rod and glue it into the bottom of the cob.
Yes, why do 3?
Cobs are relatively cheap enough to replace, but the dowel and the coin idea are interesting. Are these cheap dogs or Missouri Meerschaum?

"I glue a UK 2 pence coin on the bottom, never failed."
Sounds like an expensive repair George :nana:

Mso489 you smoke as I do so let’s not get worried by a coin on the bottom of a cob, a Falcon and many other pipes have metal bases.
It works and solves a problem, but it’s your choice.
The coin is on the outside base!
I'm curious whether or not those cobs came with the goodie bag that P&C sent out this Feb for IPSD. I received my bag and in it were 3 cobs that said "Made in China". I was a little surprised since it would have been relatively inexpensive to put in grab-bag quality cobs from MM but oh well what the heck. It was free. But I don't plan on smoking them.
Cob failure? Hardly! Take a big enough tool to the bottom of a briar and you'll get the same result.
:
They were freebies because they're cheap Chinese cobs that are worthless. Before Pipes and Cigars was acquired by Cigars International, CI purchased over 10,000 of those cheap pipes. Now Pipes and Cigars along with CI, have been trying to get rid of those worthless pipes for the past couple years. Just toss them in the trash and buy a Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob pipe and enjoy.
