I bought a mm corn cob legend from my b&m and loved it. I decided to get some more and ordered three more from an online retailer about 6months ago. These seemed different than the one I got from my local shop. First of all they had a wooden part in the bottom of the bowl that took up a large part of it. I dont remember having this in my other pipe although I could be wrong. On my first smoke the shank completely detached from the bowl and the bowl fell on the ground. It also revealed the wooden part which revealed that it was charred meaning I smoked the wood which I'd rather avoid. I tried another one of the pipes and after about ten smokes the bowl just fell off as well. I continued to smoke them but now both stems are really loose fitting with the first one being completely loose and unsmokable. I haven't tried the third pipe.
Has anyone else had any quality issues with cobs recently? I ordered these just before the reports of them not having enough material due to the drought so maybe they are just a weird batch. I'd love to get another one since my first smoked so well but is now burnt out.
