An Open Apology to Cob Smokers

[deathmetal]

I just don't get it

Maybe you're just going a different direction. Do what works for you?

^^ Bent Twain with a nosewarmer Forever Stem- what a combo! Mine makes sweet, sweet love to VaPers like you wouldn't believe!

The Twain is my favorite by far. I agree ^^^ with aldecaker

Is mine a bent twain? It is hard to tell from my pic, but it looks like the one on the far right edge, with the stock stem. It does do virginias well, I need to grab some more straight virginia.

The pick you posted is a bent Legend; the bowl shape is called a Rob Roy.

+1 ... like derfargin, I was a Country Gent fan for quite awhile because they are fantastic smokers.
However, the Mark Twain has been taking the top spot and the Diplomat (both apple and chimney) are right behind.

Speaking of apologies, I apologize to all of the "Rings" fans for misspelling Cobbit in my earlier post. My only dismay with MM cobs is that the stock stem on most pipes is pretty soft and I soon chew through them. Forever stems solve this problem for a few bucks, which is worth it because my cobs have last years and still going. As mentioned before, the Cobbit pipes have vulcanite stems and the MM freehands have acrylic stems, so MM is addressing this shortcoming. I have used soft bits on one pipe to keep from chewing through the plastic bit, and even without that, they do last a few years, but I have, ahem, quite a few pipes. Not a record holder on Forums where people do restoration, resale, and buy pipes by the lot on ebay, but a gracious plenty I will say.

My cob is getting a bit of a workout over the long weekend. Trying an OTC on the patio
