Cob Love…Yes Please! ? 11/30/21

[Grangerous]

I know I'm late to this post, but I love cobs. I'm one of the weird one's that actually prefers cobs over briars. Love these pictures.

I’m right there with you. I have 26 briars and not a single one do I enjoy more than my cobs.

Some of mine along with a couple of MM hardwoods.

2 more Cobs just picked up this week.

4 MM Legends. A cob was my first ever pipe and I love them. Cheap, reliable and smoke perfectly, what’s not to love!

I own 2 cheap MM cobs.

Hi guys, i have a question, are corn cob pipes disposable pipes? Usually how long is the life span? If i buy an expensive corn cob pipe, isn't it a bit pity and waste of money after smoking a certain period of time then i need to dispose them? ?

I don’t think of them as disposable. I have the cheap Legends, so no hardwood plug, and they’re all in fine order after several years and a lot of use! Bowl wipe and a pipe cleaner through after use and there’s no reason they shouldn’t last

Ahhh..... so it still can smoke after a few years. I saw a lot places they wrote "disposable pipes - corn cob pipes". For the cheap one, i don't mind, after a few years or months, dispose it. But i just ordered a $29.95 MM Cob, i was thinking, isn't it a bit wasted if after a few years I need to throw it away? ?

The term “expendable” as suggested earlier is probably more appropriate. And of course it all depends on how often you smoke it anyway. A wee bit of TLC goes a long way with anything.

My first pipe was an MM 7+ yrs ago. Still smoking it and hope to be for a long time. With care, good seasoning, periodic rotation…you know all the stuff you do with briar…a cob can last a lifetime and then some. As far as pipes go…the most ? for your ? IMHO. ?️

Your 29.95$ cob should last you a long time. If not, then it’s either faulty or you set it on ?. ️

Picked up another Cob today.

I have some cobs that are approx ten years old. I have not treated them well-just smoked the hell out of them. A couple of days ago I scrubbed out the shanks with a bristle brush and Everclear and scraped out the chambers almost to fresh cob. These pipes now smoke beautifully. Live and learn.

Send us some pics Edgar. The patina on those pipes is what I’m looking for. ?️

The first is an old picture, I have added at least half a dozen since I took this. I'll have to update soon. View attachment 113468View attachment 113469View attachment 113470View attachment 113471View attachment 113472View attachment 113473

Are these all MM?

 

[FurCoat]

Are these all MM?

Yes sir. They are all in rotation. There are a couple in there over 25 years old.

Where are you buying all the Cobs?

 

[Fralphog]

My wife and I decided to run over to the antique store and look around today. I came across this corn cob pipe. It’s an old circa 1990 or older pipe made by H&B out of Washington, Missouri (bought out by MM in 1990). It’s in great shape and I’m going to clean it up and smoke it!

Ladies & Gentlemen …my new MM Merrick. It just arrived a couple hours ago. Currently, enjoying the 2021 Cringle Flake in it. ?️

I want one of these Merrick's so bad, but they are sold out. MM told me they are awaiting a shipment of stems and then they will be back in stock.
