After 5 or more years of smoking a pipe, and having a brand new cob sitting in my collection for a year, I finally got around to trying one. Yes, I'll admit I'm one of those people that perhaps views the briar as superior to the cob, and if I was going to smoke a cob, it certainly wasn't going to be with good tobacco.
This weekend, when I realized the only way I was going to get a smoke in was while working in my garage and/or during the kids' nap, I pulled out the cob for the first time. I smoked two bowls- one loaded with Anni Kake, the other with MacBaren Rollcake.
I was pleasantly surprised. Nice smoke, good flavor. Certainly worthy of smoking "good" tobacco in. And, something just felt right about listening to country music, drinking coffee, smoking a cob, and getting work done outside.
So, in summary, to you cob fans: I have a new gained respect. I think I may add another cob to my collection soon
Happy smoking, be it corn, root, or block ::
