Lol! I enjoyed this.
It costs me nothing to take Kdubk seriously. I've had new smokers do far worse than over pay for tobacco (or pipe) and burn it up. Want to hear about the guy who held hit lit pipe out the car window to keep it from going out and then super glued the crack in the bowl and was about to light up another bowl in a smokeshop? OK, you already did.
Kdubk, pipe smoking gets better with experience. If you're serious, keep asking questions and you'll get some answers.

Sorry, but we don't permit that sort of language on this forum. I think you just earned yourself a one-way ticket off here.
Also, the reason tobacco is so expensive in Canada is because of taxes. I've honestly paid $45 for a pouch of captain blacks, and I see the same thing for $10 online. The problem is I don't know any websites that will ship tobacco to Canada, and even if I found one I'm worried that I will get charged the same amount of taxes as I would in my local shop.
I'm not even sure where to start on this thread ... :roll:
1. Cobs are great for beginners ... I don't care what anyone says.
2. People do not smoke cobs like "air hogs" because they don't care.
3. Eric's (ravkesef) top 3 list should be taken to heart.
4. We are a civilized group that is often skeptical and likes to poke fun.
5. Poles are not for smoking but rather dancing around while scantily clad.
Enjoy your stay, albeit a short one.

Thanks man but, I think I'm finished with smoking cobs, and buying tobacco form local shops. I've never yet had one pleasant experience with them, and everything here is far too expensive. So unless anyone wants to direct me to some websites that will sell me good stuff for an affordable price I think that I might give up pipe smoking all together. By the way I'm being treated on these forums it seems like I have no chances in becoming a successful pipe smoker so, I guess I'm just wasting my time, and my money.
This thread has seriously taken quite the loop since I've last seen it. I'm not sure even where all the trouble started. To be honest I kinda expected more from the members yes he's swearing and acting like that but it wasn't for nothing. This is supposed to be a site were we educate new smokers and put them on the right track. He'll I remember when I first started on here I was a wreck I didn't know squat and I swore a lot( still do but with in moderation). What I think needs to happen here is a do over. Let the guy get a chance to explain his problem and let's try and help him by showing him the civil way to deal with it.
That's my two cents.
That's my two cents.
I agree with smokybear. If he's serious about this hobby he should stick around and if he isn't then he'll get bored soon. And as smokybear said , thats just my two cents.
EDIT. Sorry was writing this comment while you posted yours, didn't want it to seem like I was talking over you there. And I'm glad they still ship to Canada, maybe it will save you some anyway.

From my limited experience, cobs don't last forever. They are super inexpensive, which makes them a great choice to smoke while mowing the yard, camping, or using real strong aros. Unfortunately, the cob material will eventually wear thin and in some cases burn through.
To fix this, or even prevent it, make some pipe mud out of hardwood ash and saliva. Apply it to the bottom of the bowl, and allow it to dry for a day or two. This has greatly extended the life of my cobs.
I believe that the most common factor in a pipe getting that hot is when the smoker if puffing too hard and/or too fast. Slow down, and sip the smoke.
Good luck, and welcome to the forum.

Yup that was me bud if you like one of them just let me know. I'll get you started on a good briar pipe and you will get the hang of smoking a pipe in no time.
+1 Smokey I just see a new guy asking a question and getting ripped apart over little things like he doesn't want to give his real name out to a forum. 4noggins.com cupojoes.com are both excellent sites I've ordered from, if you keep your orders around 100-200 grams there's a good chance they'll pass through customs without duty added, this isn't guaranteed but it's still cheaper. Boswells as well as milan tobacconists also ship to Canada and people have good things to say a out them. Also the pipe guys as well ship to Canada. I'm in the same boat as you in Canada but stick with it and it will become a rewarding hobby and much more affordable. Oops pipe and leaf I mean, the banner is at the bottom of the forum
