Interesting Experiment

[fishnbanjo]

Today was the one pipe 5 different tobaccos of which I used the 2/3 of the choice of tobacco I was going to smoke and 1/3 Kajun Kake (except for the walkabout when the Tsuge smoked AJ's Vapers). I basically chose one pipe to smoke w/o doing anything to it save pop a pipe cleaner in it after smoking it, got very little rest time today. I used a MM Diplomat, first tobacco being Plum Cake, followed by AJ's Vapers, Troost Special Cavendish, a Lakeland Home Brew and knowing how much Lakeland can ghost I followed it up with AJ's again since it has a mild taste and no ghost. The cob didn't even get hot only warm, not once did it not smoke to ash or leave moisture, to say I was astonished would be putting it mildly. It now deserves a proper rest but I thought everyone might find this of interest.

Not surprised at all that you got that kind of performance from a cob! They're notoriously good smokers.

I've got a few briars that could also have stood up to that much smoking. Then again, I'm one of those guys who's always preaching that our briars are a whole lot tougher than we give them credit for. I grew up around guys who owned no more than 2-3 briars, smoked them incessantly, and never complained once about them going "sour" or being overused.
