Cob Help " It Doesn't Fit"

[gwynclan]

I need some advice. :?

I ordered 3 Washington bent MM, from pipesandcigars. Recived today but the amber filter less bits are way to small. Am I doing something wrong or missing something. Kinda perturbed.

Can I smoke the pipes without the filter in the original bits, or is the hole to big.

don't want to burn tongue.

I smoke mine without the filters, I take them out as soon as I get a new cob. Dont know if its a good idea though, just what I do.

 

[irishsmoker]

@Dervis I do the same thing!

 

[havanarick]

Same here, I don't smoke any pipe that has a filter in it. It just seems the norm.

 

[gwynclan]

Why do they sell filterless bits for mm cobs.??

Hey mate, cobs come in all shapes and sizes lol. The small hole u have means it is a filterless cob, fill er up and smoke away mate, you will be alright, enjoy

Exactly, most of my cobs take filters. I've got a little MM Pony, my 1792 Flake pipe, and it doesn't accept filters. You're fine.

1.I took the filter out of mine but had a problem with hot ashes flying into my throat, so today I bought some more..2. I was worried about reading this thread, fear of where your corncob didnt fit..boy was I relieved!!! :rofl:

FILTER is a four letter word in my book....

Then again, I never could count nor orthographize very well either.

:D

 

[gwynclan]

Okay so here's the deal, bought Washington MM with filter, ordered non filter bit with it. The new non filtered bit is too small for tenon.

 

[pstlpkr]

My cob is made for a filter... had it a couple of decades... never used the filter.

It's never been an issue for me.
1 - Down…two letters

Preposition: primarily indicates approach and arrival, motion made in the direction of

2 – Down… five letters

Verb transitive: constitute the letters of a word

3 – Across… thirteen letters

Verb: 1 – down + 2 - down

I also take mine out. No problems at all.

Gwyn, if the fit is close, cake the tenon with beeswax and smoke it...the shank will swell over time, tightening the fit of the mortise and tenon. The beeswax will both speed the process, and form a natural seal.
If its ridiculously loose (or you don't have beeswax handy), paint the tenon with clear nail-polish, then gently sand until it fits snugly.

 

[gwynclan]

Its at least 3/16" to small, plenty of "beeswax around my house". :rofl:

 

[philip]

Then again, I never could count...

There are three kinds of people in this world... Those who can count and those who can't. I belong to that other group.

That's what.... he said? :|

 

[tokerpipes]

Filter? We dont need no stinking Filter.
Just something to get in the way of the draw and stain your fingers when you take it out.

 

[juozapas]

Just use a pipe cleaner once in a while to get the scum out, should work fine without the filter. :clap:
