When I bought the cob it was 99 y/o and unsmoked, the cob was so hard you would swear it was hardwood but it is a cob. Since it was so hard I treated it like any wooden pipe and it smokes great.

Another great pipe @fishnbanjo. How's it set up? Is it a spigot that fits right into the bowl? It's a great cob; never seen one like it to be honest.
Not sure I'm with phil67 on the cob thing. In fact, it's a terrible mistreatment of a classic old tobacco... But, I must admit, seeing you with the combination makes me want to... want to... want to... Okay, I think I can say it, makes me want to grab one of my cobs and join you!
Lol Steve!
Phil,
Generally speaking when it is pouring rain, super cold or very windy you're most apt to find one of the 2 dozen cobs in my rotation hanging out of my face. I treat them well that aside from some old ones I'll eventually post I have had since new and one is now 7 y/o and going strong. My other pipes get smoked in more ideal situation since I smoke outdoors, in my SL500, if on a walkabout or when I can make a pipe meeting. Anyone who thinks a corn cob is a throw away pipe or isn't capable of delivering a fine smoke just hasn't either taken a little care in breaking one in and caring for it or is listening to others who are filling their heads with balderdash, keep it smokey.

Amen to that, and well said. Admittedly,I've never heard of Mac Baren Club Blend Roll Cake, much less smoked it but you seem to be thoroughly enjoying it. I'm sure the pleasure and taste of it is just as enjoyable in that old cob as much as it would be in a $10,000+ Kent Rasmussen pipe. :wink:
