Corn Cob Pipes Maintenance?
Agree with above. I only scrape/ream my bowls and use pipe cleaners in shanks. Every once in a while I will sit them out in the sun for an afternoon if they start to hold moisture. Unlike briar and meer, I would NOT use water or soap on a cob.- TakeThisCobAndStuffIt

How to Get a Foul Taste out of Meerschaum?
The pipe is tougher than you think. I smoke only meer these days ..and in fact the same one all day every day as part of an experiment that I will write up at the end of the year. That said, I ream/scrape mine out every week using a kid's (blunt tip) swiss army knife. Take care to not press...- TakeThisCobAndStuffIt

Why We're Doomed, aka Paying for a Pizza
True story.... Last year my son and I go to Huddle House for breakfast. Son orders some skillet special. I ask for an American cheese omelet.

On Virginia's Northern Neck
Welcome from Hampton Roads! As one who also spends quite a bit of time on a boat i am familiar with the challenges. Note that aros smell great when smoking but I found leave a pretty good stink behind. Similarly Latakia blends taste great but usually offend the non smokers. Result is that...- TakeThisCobAndStuffIt

Pack Like Drinking Through a Straw?
Yep, cigar or filtered cigarette...I think the straw analogy is more to say you want to be more like water than a milkshake. Actually packing to water pressure may be too much, but if your eyes are bugging out when you try to draw then it's way too tight and may result in tongue bite.- TakeThisCobAndStuffIt

Cultivating a Taste for Tobacco
I will expand on anotherbob's advice. I did not power through blends that I clearly did not like for whatever reason; such as flavor, intensity of the smoke, bitey or whatever. However, sticking to the same family has merit. For example, if you try to smoke say 507c Virginia Slices after...- TakeThisCobAndStuffIt
