Oh I love me a cob, but I my wife bought me my first meerschaum for my birthday and I just love it. It's drilled pretty jacked but it still smokes good and I only smoke it at work. I actually mostly smoke cobs while working but my new meer has stole the morning bowl spot. Now I want another for at home, a better drilled one at least. When I saw that cheap pipe while browsing the Bay for a new pipe I saw those at all different prices so I was shocked and appalled lol but in all seriousness I'm gonna buy 1 just to see when I make another purchase.
