One Cob for One Year

[upnorth1]

Five months in and the good weather smoking is just around the corner!

 

[didimauw]

If someone wanted to donate a new bent Meerschaum, I would gladly do this again for another year!

 

[warren]

I'm now unsure as to whether to admire you your tenacity or, seek an involuntary commitment order for your own well being.

 

[mortonbriar]

This is my favourite thread. GOod to see you still puffing.

 

[jvnshr]

I was going to do that with a briar pipe but then I was like, meeeeh, life is too short for that.

This thread pushed me over the edge, just bought my first MM today. Bit sick at the moment so not smoking, but I’m itching to try it out!

 

[didimauw]

Come on Javan! You can do it!

 

[didimauw]

Skaaphaas, glad I could help!
This thread has turned into a thread about if I can last a year smoking a cob. Not a thread about if a cob can last being smoked for a year with me!

It's funny to see the veteran puffer going to experiment like this. Maybe I'll buy a cob if it's working well for a year.lol.
Go Didi Go...

Come on Javan! You can do it!

Actually, I have been smoking Lane Andullo in the same Mark Twain for the last 3 days (one bowl per day) and I enjoy it. Does that count?

 

[didimauw]

Yes! That does count! 362 days left. You can't back down now! Haha

Hell Didimauw my MM Twain hit 13 months old the last Nor’easter and it gets smoked daily with different tobaccos often multiple times and even more often the only pipe for a few weeks due to weather conditions. Keep it smokey in the cob brother I have faith in the both of you, Here I am enjoying it during the blizzard last Wednesday.
Enjoying some 7 y/o St. Bruno in the now 13 month old MM Twain with Creamsicle Swirl Forever Stem, keep it smokey.

[johnsteam86]

That has aged nicely.

 

[jvnshr]

Yes! That does count! 362 days left. You can't back down now! Haha

Make it 4 days, but I think that was it

 

[artificialme]

How is it going didi? Is the pipe still holding up well?

 

[barepipe]

Any soggy bottom yet?

 

[newbroom]

Here's my first pipe. A bent Legend purchased in 2014 and still smoking like a champ.

The shank is still completely intact at the bottom of the bowl, the rim is darkened but has all its original 'integrity'.

I have been using a different stem on it lately, a Peterson military P lip with a slight curve.

This pic may be dated, but the pipe is just the same.

"didi" is probably out making an engineer's life miserable. I understand he keeps trying to blow the whistle when he's in the cab. So he's most likely trying to stay warm on the roof of a boxcar.

 

[didimauw]

Hey guys sorry for the delay, things have been going very slowly with the pipe. With the road trains I've been on, there's been no time for smoking. Also just sold our house, and are in the process of lining for another. I haven't strayed though, but in only still at 292 right now.
