Corn cob blah!!!!

[Chasing Embers]

I understand you can't expect it to smoke like a dunhill

They actually do smoke better than a Dunhill. I wasn't kidding about that part.

Heresy! Nothing smokes better than a Dunhill!!!!

 

[Chasing Embers]

I've got one, and the cob wins hands down.

Hail Carter Hall!

Oh man, I'm going on ebay right now, got to get a limited edition Dunhill cob.

 

[woodsroad]

I happen to have a rather nice estate model that you might enjoy.....

:rofl:

I love the silliness on here. :mrgreen:

Having a bowl of Semois in a cob and enjoying this thread immensely.

Probably 7.5 bowls less than a briar.

PM sent!!!!

Sorry, Uperepik, the Dunhill Smooth Shell Cob has been sold for an exorbitant sum to a Chinese collector. You'll have to wait until tomorrow for me to make another one.

 

[uperepik]

Could I get a clearer picture of the stamping next time, I need to check those numbers. If you auction it I'll pay way more than I'd planned.

 

[woodsroad]

I'll start the bidding at $11,500. But I'll accept a Buy It Now of $26,000. Or a tin of Molto Duche.

I never smoked a cob nor will I ever. But all my Dunhills tasted fine right from the start.

 

[woodsroad]

The revelation that a cheap cob smokes as good as a Dunhill doesn't have to be a painful experience. Dunhills still look nice, and that has to be worth something, I would think.

MM should use this sentence in of their ads.

Despite how I think of corn cobs, it is always nice to see guys who love their corn cobs get passionate about them.
Funny story... a guy at The Briary would ask Skip, the owner, to buy some corn cobs every time he would come in. Skip would always come back with something about being a high end "brairy" pipe gallery. But the guy persisted every time he came in. We could always here him from the lounge being persistent.

Then one day, Skip bought a full display of Missouri Meerschaums, just for that one persistent guy. So, we all heard him when he came in... all of us nosy old guys leaning in our seats to hear... Skip said, "your dreams have come true" as he pointed to the display.

"$11.50... for a F'n corn cob? I can get them online for $10." And the guy walked out.

We of course all burst into raucous laughter. It's rare to see Skip get flustered, but it was one of the best Briary moments. I think he still has that full display... somewhere.
