Cobbit Elf Corn Cob Pipe

[ADKPiper]

Very limited selection on Amazon. Tend to be way overpriced as well.

As far as I can tell the cobs are the same price everywhere.
Seven or eight bucks for a MM Legend seems pretty standard.
I wouldn't shop for a Savinelli on Amazon but I do buy my cob pipes there.
Free fast shipping.

I find new cobs generate a sour taste until broken in... which can take several smokes. I'm breaking in a Southport Ferryman and thinking of trying the Bing Crosby method.

Yeah. A legend cob starts at $20 Canadian on Amazon. I did buy a Savinelli on Amazon though through 4 noggins.

What’s that?

What’s that?

Dipping your finger in honey and running it around the inside of the bowl... basically coating the inside of the bowl with a light film of honey. He supposedly did it with briars... don't know why it wouldn't work on cobs.

Just ordered a Missouri Meerschaum Cobbit Elf Corn Cob Pipe. This will be my first cob pipe. Anyone familiar with this model? Any pointers for using a cob pipe? Do’s/Don’ts?

Great smoking pipe. One of my favorites. Superb value for the experience.
You will love it!

Many of the most experienced pipe smokers, with the most enviable collections, still smoke cobs sometimes.
If we always selected a pipe to smoke based on quality of smoke alone, we might smoke cobs far more often.

I usually smoke a briar, but if I'm honest, the times that I do grab a cob, the smokes seem disproportionately cool, dry, sweet, and open.

And the "Cobbits" are handsome ones.
