International Pipe Smoking Day 2021

[Ahi Ka]

Anyone know if 4noggies is doing a discount code or sale?

 

[olkofri]

They got me twice this weekend. Why? I don’t need any more pipes! Ridiculous. This is what happens with idle hands.

You're spending way too much time with @brian64

You need to join the cobster club. ?

We'll SP Europe finally gave a 15% discount for IPSD.

Got a Rolando Negoita estate on the way.

Unfortunately someone got to the Bruce Weaver acorn before I did.

Now if someone could get that Nathan Armentrout bamboo volcano and remove my temptation...

Naoooooooo!!!!

Cobs have a very open draft and wide airway in the stem. They'll almost smoke themselves. Other than being acrylic, that's what I dislike the most about forever stems. They take away from what a cob was supposed to be.

They also hold very little tobacco. We'll, most of them anyway.

None of mine are small. The smallest I keep for smoking is a Mark Twain. It comes in as a small group 4 with a chamber depth of 1.625". The deepest is the freehand with a depth of 2.75". The reverse calabash pipes come in around 2.23".

I have a Diplomat Apple but have been considering getting a couple of Generals for use in the pool. My only concern is I'm quite surprised how heavy the diplomat is. It's not that it weighs a ton but I have plenty of briars and meers that weigh less yet offer longer smokes.

I'm not a fan of cobs in general but it's nice to not worry about their cost when in the pool or around concrete.

It's the plaster. Get an unfinished one, even an unfinished freehand is light as a feather.

That's good to know. I'll have to pick up a couple unfinished ones.

One day in the distant future i am certain I will see you post a pic of a cob with a naked lady or other figural somehow carved into it.

I'd never thought of that, but I think you're right. I have a General, and it is quite heavy. I have a naked Diplomat, which is admittedly a smaller shape, but it is extremely light.

a Rolando Negoita estate on the way.

Which one did you get? Have pics?
