I had to go get a CC since what i thought was a corncob turns out to be a MM Hardwood, yeah it was the first pipe i ever bought and just thought it was a smoothed out CC lol, after all it says corncob on the sticker on bottom lol.
So i made a trip to town to get a corncob, and they still had plenty of the MM Hardwoods but NO MM corncobs. They had a whole cardboard full of some other type of corncob so i grabed the best looking one of those. Only to find out the mouthpiece was stuck! and sideways.
So i stuck it in the freezer for a bit to no avail. So i thought i would gently start pulling and a bit of twist and then the whole thing came out of the cob!
Just a small dab of glue on the bottom of the stem(?) So...I polished the mouth piece a bit and got it all straight, then put a dab of Wood Glue on the part that goes into the bowl, making sure no glue is inside the bowl,
Now im waiting on it to dry up, so I can give it a whirl. After all the talk of corncobs on pipe forums, i just had to give it a try, and i wasnt about to drive all the way back to town (we live out in the boonies lol) just for a 3dollar pipe lol.
Anyway just chatting it up a bit, and if you fellas think its a bad idea to have glued it back together and think ill get sick....please speak up.
thanks
