I noticed that Missouri Meerschaum now has a product on their site that is a grab bag of 10 random cobs priced at $30. The cobs are all considered to be flawed aesthetically but are assured to be perfect smokers. This excited me because not only do cobs smoke great, but it allows me to have an inexpensive stash of pipes to share with others who are interested in trying the hobby, and will provide me a good supply of pipes for outdoor activities that I won't mind damaging or losing.
