Yes you do. That's quite a group. I like my Great Dane Egg and Country Gentleman. It's hard to beat the price:pleasure ratio.
Wow, anarchisthermit! Those cobs are beautiful! This is inspiring! I'm going to start doing this to my cobs. Is this just by allowing dirt from your hands to stain the cobs? Looks like you've got a lot of vulcanite stems on those. Are they forever stems from Walker Briar Works?
Those don't look like they've been smoked recently. The wear on the stems looks like they've had enough time to patina over with oxidation. Is this just a display of yours? If not, I bet that white oxidation on the stems tastes nasty. I had an old Grabow passed down to me that had white oxides on it like that. It tasted like machine grease and rotten egg.
I usually smoke my cobs when I working in my wood shop or cutting the grass something like that. Mine aren't that colored..
+1, Looks pretty nasty, shudder... I would have to give them some attention before I'd smoke them.
Well then, you are a mightier man than me. Or, at least you have a higher tolerance for... smells.
But, all of that aside, I am interested in these. Are they Missouri Meerschaums? Did you fit these stems to them yourself?

There are no original stems or shanks. They all came from DGE Handmade Pipes.I think he has upgraded to a higher grade of vulcanite.
