I love those ember, I have wanted one of those forever, I bet they smoke outstanding. Jealous
They do indeed. The 2015 is five years old, heavily smoked, and likely has decades of life left.?
@chasingembers I dig that tamper! nice!
I also agree with what everyone has said so far! Love my cobs, they smoke great, really lend something nice to VA's and VA/Pers INMO.
They are durable and I don't worry that if I drop it over the side of the boat or get it soaking wet in a storm that I'll be crying for weeks, I'll just spend another 7 to 20 bucks and keep smoking.
Also +1 for the more "fancy" ones with the acrylic stems, I've got a Pot o' gold and a Charles Towne Cobbler that smoke great like any cob and the stem is a welcome enhancement.
I'm actually packing some McClelland Darkstar in my legend right now...

Haha! Let me rephrase. In most cases for someone's first cob.
I like that char on the rim.
That's intentional.? I do that to all of my cobs.?
Yeh, yeh, yeh, everyone's all lining up to deep throat the corncobs. Sheeze, all these folks that just love the smell of a dirty cob adding it's nastiness to their tobacco flavors. Sure, sure, buy your pipe held together with Elmers glue. It kills me... if any of my pipes smoked with that wide opened, sucking wind draw, I'd crush it in a heartbeat.
That said, if you love 'em, smoke em. The more folks that go chasing these dime store toys, the less competition there is for real pipes.

Says the man smoking a bamboo shank.
I've got a few cobs and smoke them once in a while, when I feel my inner redneck minimalist bubbling up from deep inside.
Surprised at all the gentle replies! Some love them to death, some hate them, and many are agnostic. I simply prefer briar and meerschaum.
I’ve always had a couple cobbs around. However, once they started making the more stubby cobbs I’ve added a lot more to the rotations. I have a couple Dagners, acorn, cutty and anse in regular rotation. Great little smokers for sure!!
Ditto on all the positives listed in above posts. I have close to 30 in my rotation. If you smoke more than one bowl a day you would have to have a sizeable briar collection which monetarily would add up. Cheap way to extend the rotation. I also smoke outside and on very humid days I smoke cobs for their ability to draw the moisture away from the tobacco. Great pipes and a great investment.
Come on...Not one cob?Yeh, yeh, yeh, everyone's all lining up to deep throat the corncobs.

Not even on a hot, sweaty, humid, day kicking around in the yard? ?
Cosmic abhors cobs and Peterson. He's my piping hero!
I’d give up my Savinellis before I’d give up my Dagner cob.
I’m serious.
I’m serious.
If I were into used pipes, I'd ask you where you'll be throwing them Savs out to.
But I will smoke many, very many cobs before I buy a used pipe.
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy and appreciate my Savs. But they’re rarely the first pipe I reach for. As a simple smoking tool, the cob does the job (to coin a phrase).
PS: I feel the same way about used pipes.
