Stopped by a local smoke shop today while i had some time to kill and bought a MM cob. i don't know what model it is . It's about a 1/4 bent. Smoked it today with some MacB Plum Cake, which i also bought at the same time, and it was fine, The whole time i smoked it, though, the same stupid song kept bouncing around in my head: " I'm Popeye The Sailor man, I'm Popeye The Sailor Man..." Is this normal with cobs, Especially the first one?
Finally Bought A Cob. Is This Normal?

No your crazy. Lol. Enjoy your cob
Totally normal and it only gets worse. Strongly recommend lots of leafy greens. I like my cobs and still prefer them for burley blends and anything topped.
No. Just don't say anything bad about Mammy Yokum. She was a cob smoker, you know. Nor Huck Finn either.
The larger cobs look and feel better in the hand. As long as you don’t clench em, a stem is a stem is a stem.
But as soon as you clench, you’ll start chasing skinny women, sprout big forearms and have an uncontrollable desire for spinach.

I should have added I smoke a cob every morning on the drive into work and when I walk past that statue I smile a little lol.
why do you think some people prefer cobs over briar? If that doesn't happen go to the E.R. tell them you think you're having a stroke or other brain related issue
Fortunately I'm into briar so I won't have the fantasy you'll be having tonight - you can pay me when you see me!
Never thought about Popeye, but here in the hills, it can make a cousin look pretty good.
Is there some connection of the statue and history of who or what company is in the building?
Only for those familiar with the song! Sounds right normal to me. And now you'll have created the same for many who light up cobs this evening.
You're me! OCD is my vice when it comes to something like a new pipe. Especially one with Popeye & MM. Just enjoy singing, enjoy your pipe, and it will pass. Nice to see levity in this sometimes TOO serious a game when it's just a pleasurable hobby... Best & Luck, LeRoy

Yes that wierd part inside the bowl is normal. It will fill with cake just fine.
Sorry, I was expecting another "goofy shank inside bowl" thread.
Now that song is stuck in my head....
