What's the deal with the Reverse Calabash cobs? Do they smoke different or what?
so you're saying that once your eye sight goes you're getting a forever stem. Not sure I get the connection but hey you do you.

hey! - no politics - especially politics of the pornographic nature
Not really. The idea is a cooler smoke, but as slow as I smoke, that's any pipe. The design was the winner of the Cobfollery contest several years ago.
All my cobs have forever stems. Not only do they dress up my cobs but I have yet to bite through one. 
That’s one hell of a visual...I CAN’T GET IT OUT OF MY BRAIN!!!?
I never once remember having a bad smoke with a cob. I just can not say that about my other pipes.
Sometimes I wonder why I would buy anything else.
But I am pretty sure I have yet to see a $50 cob I would buy.

Funny you mention that. I smoked 2 New Petersons and they were fine but not as good as my Cobs. My Moonshine Cannonballs and my Cobs have given me the best experience.
Everyone should have a cob in there collection.
I have to say, having started with briars, and having 5 of them (well, 6 really, but still have not had the one with a broken tenon fixed) I figured I would get a couple cobs to try. Bought the MM 2 pack Country Gentlemen, one bent one straight back in July. Im completely ruined. I just don't get the appeal of expensive briars anymore from a purely smoking basis. My cobs smoke cool, they smoke sweet, they are light, and they are workhorses that can stand up to abuse. They are just incredible to me and especially at their price point. I like to smoke tobacco, not in this to collect pipes and since acquiring my cobs I can count on one hand the amount of nights I have used my briars.
I DID buy two forever stems, and one more MM cob. I like that you can just take your forever stems and stick them in any cob you are smoking, I have one bent stem and one straight stem. I may get two more of a different length for other cobs I will acquire.

I totally agree with you, I always reach for a Cob now. Well, my Moonshine Cannonballs don't disappoint but I'm getting ready to sell my Petersons.......... maybe. I have maybe 15 Cobs. I'm set for a bit.
I have tonights ready to go.

90% of the time its a Meer, 9.5% a MM Cob and .5% a briar. When I smoke the briar i wonder why I bothered...
