First Cob Pipe

[drsam]

Wed. when I stopped off at Missouri Meerschaum factory to pick up a few boxes of filters They had a sale going on and I had no way of resisting. I purchased two pipes, Diplomats, one bent and one straight. I loaded the bent up with some "Gentleman Caller" today and it smokes wonderful good. I think that I have become a convert!

Now comes the fun of going through all your favorite blends with the cob and seeing how they taste.

More fun for you could be trying out the blends that aren't so much favorites. In a cob that could change!

Enjoy!!

Glad to hear you might convert. I smoke all my aros in cobs because they just make tobacco sweater.

used to smoke cobs when i was a youngster--gave 'em up for a long time--couple years ago i tried one again--found out what i had been missin' all these decades--
cobs love OTCs; in fact they love all burlies(YMMV)

My first pipe was a cobb still smoking it and they will always have a spot on my rack for smoking.

Echoing OTD's sentiment about cobs maybe improving the experience of puffing blends you may not like that much, I had my first cob-puff in 45 years this summer at the NYC Pipe Club BBQ. The theme was American Englishes, such as Spillman Mixture and Distinguished Gentleman. I totally love Latakias, but American Englishes put me off. I'm only now getting into Virginias, though I have always liked Orientals and Turkish, usually in conjunction with Lats. But burleys, not so much. Howsoever, I found the cob they gave us at the picnic worked very well with the Distinguished Gentleman, which I normally would pass on in a briar or meerschaum.
Maybe a lot of the American Englishes were first formulated for cob smokers.

This is almost heresy for me to admit: of all my briars and my sole Meer, my MM Patriot Cob has EASILY the best draw. It simply smokes wonderful; I can't understand why I don't smoke it more than I do which is rarely.

 

[jaybird]

I've smoked a bunch of lower end basket brair pipes and my cob is still my favourite.

I purchased two pipes, Diplomats, one bent and one straight.

The Diplomat is a great pipe, and has become my go to. Really good sized bowl. I also have a Legend, which is nice for shorter smokes. I plan on getting a Dane and a Country Gentleman in the near future.
