Best Smoke Yet.

[Wheels]

I just had some Sutliff J4-Burley in my cob and it was my best smoke yet. The pipe almost smoked itself, just a few re-lights and burned almost to the bottom. And, zero tongue bite. I think I'm getting the hang of it.

I love this cob with the long stem and interchangeable bowls.

I haven't seen that styke of cob before. Pretty cool.

Congratulations! That cob is a neat setup. I’ve never seen one like that. Who makes it?

Pleased it’s all coming together for you - it’s great when that happens
Happy smokes

Like learning to ride a bicycle - you keep falling off.
Then one day it’s “gosh, why did it seem so difficult before?”

Thanks for the comments.

The sticker on the bottom of the cobs just says Missouri Meerschaum and there's a MM co emblem. I got it back in the 60's and never smoked it much then. I like that you can rotate between cobs.

Four of the pipes in the rack were given to me by an elderly neighbor back then. From left to right they are: Emperor, Yelo-Bole, Sunrise, and Essex. The one on the far right is my old Comoy that I chewed a hole in the stem.

I'm glad to see J4 getting some love. It's a good mild blend to smoke, very well behaved in a cob. I'm happy it's coming together for you.

One of those would make for a nice yard cob setup

I am predominately a Cob smoker and I also have never seen a set up like that. Not anywhere and I've been to a lot of Pipe Shows over the years.

Is the bowl end of the bit metal, it looks to be metal and that would be very unique!

Yes, it's a tapered metal sleeve. Here is a close up.

Here is the label on the bottom of the cobs.

It is a good thing for you.

You’ve been smoking since the 60s and just had a decent bowl for the first time?

Thank you for the photos. The tapered metal sleeve is truly interesting. I have never seen that. However, I do recall seeing that label in the past.

I had a lot of decent bowls back then. But, I stopped smoking for about 40 years and you'd be surprised at how much you can forget in that length of time.
