Are Expensive Cobs Better?

[Pipke]

Seems to be a lot of reputation smearing going on in this thread. Most of it is based on speculation. I'm sure you attorney's know about libel laws just as much as you know about labor laws.

For one, I wish the trash talking would stop. Far off topic from OP.

For one, I wish the trash talking would stop.

First time on this forum? Ha ha. Why, we even have tobacco businesses that will occasionally come on and trash talk. Ha ha.

Yeah, I wasn't considering other brands of corn cobs, I think MM is great.
Was just wondering if it makes sense to pay say $35 for a higher tier corn cob vs a CG which can be had for $16.

Go for the MM. Best around.

Personally I think MM sucks because they charge 50 bucks for a cob of corn... You can buy a damn good briar pipe for 50 bucks, maybe even a small meer.


It doesn't bother me that they push drugs, or work their people at minimium wage with no benefits.

There is no federal mandate to give health insurance, they only have to offer it. Hell, I once worked at a place that "offered benefits" and the health insurance cost was half my monthly pay.

As far as MM being the best, they must be the best because they are the only.

Get you a cob pipe, but if it cost as much as a briar pipe, you might as well skip it. Corn cob pipes are disposable, they don't last forever if you smoke 'em regularly.


I edited it to add:

I've heard Grabow is not the same that is used to be. A lot of negative reviews on the modern pipes.

Yep, all the Grabows now are tiny and not made very well.
I have some from the 1950s-1960s that are fantastic in every way. Great wood, great stems, large bowls....

When I order my tobacco online in the UK I always order a MM, it is cheap and hardly notice the extra cost, last order I went for a more expensive MM, it was a special C&D, the best mouthpiece on a MM I have ever had, worth the extra cost.

We have gone well beyond answering the question and I think my answer was the best......
