Tobacco for Cobs

paranoidpiper · Feb 22, 2015

I was reading in an earlier thread and somebody mentioned something about tobacco designed specifically for cobs and that some do better in cobs. Although they didn't name the tobaccos. Does anyone know their names? I've tries googling pipe ttobacco for cobs and got nothing

I find many tonacco types that do well in cobs. I smoke flakes, ribbon cut, cube cut, ect. Be it a VA, a balkan, anything, it all does well for me when smoking a cob. I do designate my cobs though just as I do my briars.

Thanks Redbeard but in the post I was reading it sounded like this was specifically marketed towards cobs...like it would only taste good in a cob but horrible in a briar :/

The Missouri Meershaum blends, available at P&C, were created by Russ Ouelette to accentuate the natural sweetness of a corncob, but can be smoked in any pipe just as well.

Thanks chasing embers thats what I was womdering. So do I just google Missouri meerschaum blends? Sorry for sounding dumb I'd just never heard of that blend before and i haven't been smoking long and all I have is a cob so it peeked my interest

Missouri Meershaum blends were designed to be extra tasty in a cob.
Get some!

I think I'll order the intro pack it also comes with 4 pipes

buroak · Feb 22, 2015

chasingembers and zekest have steered you to the blends mentioned in the other thread (I participated in that thread, but I cannot remember which it was). I have heard particularly good things about the American Patriot blend.

I like the taste of burley blends in my cobs.

Chasing Embers · Feb 22, 2015

Codger blends are great in cobs, as well as Hearth and Home's Mid-Town series.

Do you even smoke a pipe? It's not difficult, you people think way to much into it.

This is one reason why I only lurk and seldom post anymore! If your not going to try to be helpful, don't bother posting a crude or rude remark.

I like mccelland 5100 redcake in my cob particularly, although i think every tobacco i have has been put through a cob enjoyably at some point...

I'm sorry but what am I missing here? What is crude or rude about the comment??

Please enlighten me....

Is everyone's skin getting paper thin? My God Man.

Beefeater, its just easier for a new pipe smoker to ask questions if they feel like this is the kind of place where you can do that...

Yes, this is the place to get all the answers. We are a helpful and kindhearted group here. But there comes a time in every mans life, when he must put that "blend" of tobacco in his "pipe" and smoke it...... its a learning curve really, just do it. Remember the old salts on the ships of yore.... they didn't google, or yahoo or whatever. They smoked a pipe. They did not have time to sit around and debate the nuances of the figgy perique or the soft vanilla notes.. Its not a complicated hobby, read all you can, and don't be afraid to put the wrong 'baccy in the wrong pipe... there are no rules...... :D

Getting back to topic, I happened to have posted, just a few minutes ago, the information Paranoid Piper requested originally.
Russ Oullette designed these blends for the Missouri Meerschaum label:
_____________________
My favorite is Country Gentleman, Virginia/Periqu with Dark Fired Kentuckian leaf.
American Patriot is a mis-named, as it is an English Latakia blends with cavendish/orientals/turkish and Virginias. It has a Bourbon casing, so maybe that justifies the name.
Great Dane is a cavendish, burly, virginia with a Cherry casing. Haven't tried this one yet.
Missouri Pride is a classic American burley blend with broken flakes mixed with ribbon. This is my favorite burley blend, one that I can smoke all day.

Yeah Beefeater, i completely agree with you when you write it like that.

We will not tolerate discouraging any member from asking any questions that pertains to the subject of the site. It doesn't matter if the question has been answered a million times before, it will still be treated as if we've never seen it. One thing I find helpful, as a "grizzled veteran", is linking to old threads that have bearing on the question being asked. You can never have too much information.

^ From the forum rules. The way mmjk phrased his response was not helpful and bordered on rude if you ask me. When something is in print there is little else to help decipher someone's intent. There is a time to simply smoke it and see but people often ask before placing an order, nothing wrong with getting some advice. Especially when there are hundreds of blends to try.
Isn't there one codger blend people say absolutely shines in cobs? I thought it was Carter Hall but I may be remembering incorrectly.
