need help with cobs
Delicacy is the key. Everything aside, it all takes a bit of getting used to. I wouldn't want to have an exceptional briar for my first pipe. I'd rather start out with a number of corn cobs and have no fear of cracking this or scorching that or ghosting the whole works. That's not to say I just...- sparroa

need help with cobs
I have never gotten around to smoking a briar yet, but only because I have been enjoying the guilt-free ease of the cob at this stage.

Welcome New Members. Introduce Yourself. (2)
Hello folks, I'm a very new pipe smoker from Newfoundland in eastern Canada. Owing to my isolated geography, I've only smoked Captain Black White and Sail Green every now and then. But I've just placed my first order to 4noggins today, hoping to get a taste for some quality aromatics and basic...- sparroa
