    Is This Cob Safe to Smoke?

    Anyone know what years MM made them for Dr. Grabow?

    Anyone else turned off after illness?

    When something is so new it's seems difficult to know when to just"push through.". After last night I will definitely just have wait until it's really sounding good again. The bummer is that today I finally have a chance to visit a b&m tobacco shop to look for something other than otc's...

    Anyone else turned off after illness?

    Garcia effect... I was thinking no, but then I remembered I probably had a pipe before I ended up mixing in a little too much of my 190 proof pipe cleaning stash while watching a movie.

    Yea, my wife is relieved I'm not addicted! :wink:

    Anyone else turned off after illness?

    I read two threads about smoking while sick, but mostly about not enjoying a pipe when unable to smell or taste. I had some sort of stomach flu last week and the thought of smoking still almost makes me sick. Of course I had to try tonight anyway, but that didn't last long. I know this is...

    Smokin a Cob in the Rain

    Jp I gotta assume you're kidding, but I'm so new you could probably convince me of anything. I'm gonna try it either way! :puffy:

    Smokin a Cob in the Rain

    Yea, not wise but it's what I had with me on a hike in the woods today and got caught in a downpour. Really it was a nice ending to my week, peaceful and all so I kept smoking my MM unfinished Pride by keeping my hand covering the bowl until it was coming down way too hard. Actually got wet in...

    Olive Oil Finish Dilemma

    Like those cats. Thanks for the replies, helps not worry so much and now I know to be more careful.

    Olive Oil Finish Dilemma

    I rubbed it in pretty good, I think it started to show darker inside the bowl, is that even possible??? These are pipes I acquired very cheaply, 2 of them were 2 dollars each, so its not a catastrophe in that sense, but I would be sad if these first experiments ended up unusable or something. I...

    Olive Oil Finish Dilemma

    So, before reading on here enough, I became excited about restoring and rusticating some old briars; a Dr. Grabow Viscount, an "Imperial", "The Rampart by Danco; and a "Pipe Maker." I read about a few people using olive oil and since I wanted to try some things before actually getting stains or...

    What Music Are You Listening To? - May 2017

    X2 for Willie's new album. I've been stuck on a lot of his old stuff for months now, listened to Shotgun Willie repeatedly last night while restoring a pipe. I hope he stays healthy, supposed to see him in a few weeks!

    New Member Introduction - 2017

    Hey, I'm Philip and middle age is finding me finding myself. Grandpa smoked a pipe before I was born, absolutely love Sherlock Holmes and Hopalong Cassidy (In the real books, Hoppie smokes and drinks and cusses a lot), and just seem to like old and time-honored custom kind of stuff. To give you...

    Is This Cob Safe to Smoke?

    Its great! Thanks for the responses. I like my MM Legend that is completely unfinished, but I really do like the old look of this cob. Any chance anyone knows how long ago Dr Grabow stopped selling cobs? I read they were all made by Missouri Meerschaum but couldn't find any kind of timeline...
