I was Going Through a Box of Old Cobs

I was going through a box of old cobs when I noticed the price sticker on this old cob. Now you won’t find pipes for sale at Disney or anywhere at that price.

Walt Disney Productions sticker puts it at no later than the mid 1980's.

It’s going to be reincarnated in the near future. Still in the planning stages.

Oops! That was replying to Elric.

You're confusing me with Brian Levine, the host of the Pipes Magazine Radio Show.

Was that a Popeye special for Disney?

Our local reservation has some Chinese cobs for I believe $2.99.....I'll need to check that.....but they are well under $5.
It's sad to think that someone has probably bought and smoked one, then gave up on pipe smoking.

When I started just a few years ago in 2018, a Missouri Pride cob or Ozark hardwood could each be had for under $5. I think I paid $6 for my first pipe, a Legend. Insanely good deals for real, proper pipes made in the US. They are still a good value IMHO, even as the prices have crept up. I'm glad Missouri Meerschaum is still alive and kicking, and hope they will be for a long time.

I try to steer people away form those burnout-prone hunks of crap whenever I see them mentioned. Why would anyone bother when the real deal is just a few dollars more?
