Cob Meets Leather: The Miz Meer Continental

[snagstangl]

Did anyone know these existed? Ive only been on the look for one for a few months. I am sure this will be the worst of all pipes for some. Finally, a classy cob!

I'd lean toward lack thereof. Would still be an interesting piece to own though.

I used to have one of the aristocobs. Came with a case and three bowls.

A fur covered cob?

 

[Olkofri]

Finally a cob that doesn't look bumpkinish!


Wonder what kinda leather it is. ?

 

[philobeddoe]

I wish I could unsee that pipe, but I’m afraid that image will haunt my nightmares. And I’m actually a Longchamp fan, just not with the cob....just no.

Was it $4.95 when you got it?

 

[kurtbob]

My only question is, why? It’s like taking a “72” Pinto and putting a bad ass design body wrap on it?.

I paid $30 on Ebay.

Got you.Thought you might have got it back when ?

Nah, I've only been smoking since '91.

Oh...what now?!!! ?

The ad says pig skin. That is what it looked like to me before I looked at the ad again.
it was $22 once I added shipping. I smoked it this morning and it smoked well. Based on the number of pipe cleaners and everclear it took to clean out the stem, it had been smoked quite a bit. The nylon stem is fairly chewed but not much to do about that.

 

[Olkofri]

Yeah, caught that about pig skin later, but I was mostly wondering about tannage. I'd be leery of using chrome tanned leather to wrap a cob in.

That's inflation for you
OR you must have wanted that real bad

Considering many of their pipes with acrylic stems are $25+, an unsmoked metal cob with a case and extra bowls wasnt that expensive.

 

[Olkofri]

Not sure I'd want a metal pipe: people are likely to think I'm smoking that shit.

I'm even leery of taking out my Vauen Quixx for that reason. ?

Not much different from a Falcon.

 

[Olkofri]

Not much different from a Falcon.

I'd not get one of those either!!

Very same reason.
