Finally Bought a Cobwarden

[choppa]

I have been smoking a pipe for more than 15 years and until today I had never smoked a corncob pipe 8O

Well I finally spent the $5 and got a Missouri Meerschaum...

Gotta say... I really like it! I smoked an aromatic blend I put together out of it and it seemed to give off an additional sweetness. I might have to get a few more.

another cobber is born.

I would say "welcome to the club", but I'm waiting for my first cobs to arrive in the mail. :lol: I have to say, I have never heard anything bad about cobs.

 

[whimsyt]

I haven't jumped on the cob bandwagon yet, but this thread makes me wanna give it a whirl.... ::
Good for you! Which kind did you get? I've been looking at the smaller diplomat.....
And I do have Cool Hand Fluke and Storm Front on the way, so I really should get me a cob....

 

[choppa]

I gotta say... I'm plesantly surprised at how well it smokes, and the fact that I don't have to worry about damaging it is a big plus! I am a working owner of a construction company and caring for a nice briar all day is not really an option.

The Country Gentleman is the best, I find; attractive dark finish with a sizable bowl.
Cobs are ideal for a work environment, but also for sampling or just carefree casual smoking.
It never hurts to have 5 or 10 cobs on hand! You'll never be left wanting for a good pipe...

I must say, i have 2 cobs. Both MM diplomats, one straight, one bent, and i absolutely hate both of them. I have never had a good smoke out of either of them! Will never buy more! I know everyone else loves them! I just, for the life of me, can not figure out why!
Good luck to the other cobbers though!
this is of course IJMHO.

If you like that cob try one of smokindragons!!!

 

[crk69]

I have four cobs that I use for sampling new blends. My legends seem to have burnt a little more than my others in the bowl.. Still very satisfied with them all, welcome to the club..

 

[nsfisher]

Now if you really want to enjoy that Cob, fill er up with a Codger blend like, SWR or CH

 

[gecko13]

+1 nsfisher. I'd never smoke CH or SWR in anything other than a cob. I have, but it just tastes too good in cob.

[taerin]

What's CH and SWR?

 

[gecko13]

Short for Carter Hall and Sir Walter Raleigh.

 

[baronsamedi]

I have a Legend and a Great Dane Egg. I love them both. Every smoker should at least try one. Most end up loving them and keeping a few in rotation.

 

[choppa]

Well... I just ordered 3 more off eBay :mrgreen:

 

[weezell]

Have 10 of them I keep smokin all the time.Couple I've been smokin now for 30 years...P.S. gettin me a SmokinDragon in the mix soon!!!

 

[numbersix]

I will have to try one one of these days - I wished I had used one for my first pipe. Seems the logical choice for a beginner.

 

[foggymountain]

Like you, I got one recently. I hadn't smoked a cob in over 50 years. Very sweet smoke, especially good with Sunset Breeze. I have 3 of them now, with custom installed long shanks. Best smoke for the dollar.

 

[gnatjulio]

I just picked up a MM Patriot and a Freehand. Still deciding what tobacco to dedicate to them.

For those new to corncobs, you might benefit from my Primer and Buying Guide. Also, you should consider ordering from MM direct, 800-888-2109, so you can get a natural version, which are in limited quantity.
