New Pipe for the Cap'n

[Sweet Home Alabama]

I have two cobs now after giving one away. Both are MM and both have acrylic stems. THe one that I reach for mostly is the Carolina Gent.

I don't understand the appeal of muscle cars either, specially when you can't drive them at their shining speeds.

Who says you can't? Just drive through Alabama on the interstate. We have laws that keep all police off the interstate except for two state troopers, and those two guys are probably taking a nap under a tree somewhere. So, no speed limits here.
Every now and then the state will "do something" about speeders, so they will flood the interstate with troopers, but the next day it's all back to normal, zoom zoom.

This was true on Highway 72 between Scottsboro and Gurley last Friday.

I have to drive up to Decatur and Athens at least once a week, so I average about 90-100 mph in my truck. Damn 18 wheelers are always slowing us down. I especially hate when they get side by side going the speed limit. Idiots!!

I enjoy seeing the faux cobs, but I wouldn't want to own one. In a sense, Mountain Laurel could be seen as faux briar, but both woods have their own qualities and character and can be appreciated in their own right, not by visual confusion.

Who made that ghastly thing?

He's exaggerating a bit. Excluding commissions and a meer i ordered for work, I'm mostly smoking cobs.

Atta boy

Yeah, there got to be too many people collecting them here and it lost its interest.

Naoooooo!! Not the Magnuuum....! ?

Never did understand the appeal of Porsche.

Now I'm all about a '74 AMC Javelin.

A car just as ugly as the pipes you got rid of lol

I just buy those to smoke so no collectable value to me.

Captain Contrarian. I'd not be surprised if he started smoking his pipe upside down. We better coat the deck's planks with asbestos.

Only when it's raining.

I thought I saw a 904 on a resale site and thought about your collection, funny it may HAVE been part of your collection! Congrats on having the ability to let things go, not an easy feat. Enjoy your new journey with cobs! @chasingembers

 

[Chasing Embers]

Only if the seller went dumpster diving.

Enjoy your new journey with cobs!

Not new at all. They've always been my favorite since the beginning back in the '90s.
