I only have two pipes, a Milano briar and a MM cob (I know the traditional response so spare me the guilt trip. I'm working on it.) and I have been rotating them once a week. The problem is that I have started smoking more, around 3-7 bowls a day, and I think my 2 month old cob has about had it. three are small cracks appearing between the kernels and as of today a larger more ominous one opening up above the shank. Can I save the poor girl (are pipes typically named girl names?) or is it too late and I should just smoke it 'til the proverbial wheels fall off?

I would recommend repairing the cracks in your corn cob pipe (CCP) using black fire place mastic cement.
You can get it at Builders Square, Home Depot, Ace.
It only costs $47.00 for a half gallon can which is more than enough to fix a few CCP.
If you smoke Virginia Flakes (VF), the mastic will add some flavor to the otherwise flavorless dry flakes.

My bag of seconds is in the mail... looking forward to seeing what they send..... with my luck 10 of the same style.... and I'll smoke them all.
