I think almost everyone here has made a thread expressing there appreciation for the Cob, and this is just another to the pile, but I've recently really been seeing how amazing they really are. A cob wasn't my first pipe, but the first I bought a few years ago. I have two and have smoked them regularly as long as I've smoked pipes, actually more than any of my other few pipes that aren't Cobs. I consider my Brigham my best pipe, but I can't deny it that my cobs smoke better than anything.
I just had a simple bowl of PA and had 3 relights. I consistently have the least relights in my cobs, yes the bowls aren't very big on the Legend and Pride, but still, for the amount of tobacco I always have the fewest relights in them.
What I also love about them is if I'm going somewhere traveling or whatever, I can throw one in my pocket and not think twice about it. If it broke it would suck but its like $5. They're rustic, fairly durable, cheap and honestly smoke just about as good as anything else. Sometimes I get frustrated that I don't have the money to have more "real" pipes but recently I really don't care, the Cobs may be cheap and appear as a "beginner pipe" but at the end of the day there is nothing to be ashamed about with them, haha.
