Show off Your Corn Cobs Here!

[didimauw]

Here's my Dad's old cob. I estimate it is about 60 years old. I did a deep clean on it because it was pretty sour. Cake removed, scrub internals, polish that brass ring a bit, and get the oxidation off the stem was enough to get a sweet smoking pipe. Enjoying a bowl of semois!

Along with the info, That's possibly the greatest corncob pipe ive ever seen!

Thank-you. I'm happy with it after some spit and polish. Only took the stem to 1800-grit and called it good enough. I'm dedicating it to burleys that tend to smoke a little hot. The large bowl and long stem seems to help cool them off.

I really enjoy smoking cob pipes and I also enjoy modifying them in some way. Over the past few years I done a couple that I thought really turned out well. The one below is one of those. Finished it off a few weeks back and it smoked well.

Just posting these pics. Been trying to read through different threads and this one was on today’s list. Since taking these photos I’ve put the other forever stem on the legend and it works well. They both do.

My new MM Blue Diamond I've never seen a cob shaped like this so I had to get one, pretty good smoker.

Forgive me if this isn't the right place for this question. I'm a brand new piper. My first pipe is a MM Legend and I just bought a MacArthur Cob. I love it. Not sure I can explain it but it smokes the best of my (small sampling) pipes. Does anyone make a stand specific to the MacArthur? It doesn't fit in a normal stand and hard to balance standing on its own. I'd hate for it to get damaged falling over. Thanks!

Here are the ones I still have. Quite a few went to my son - and when he passed I gave them to his pipe smoking friends. Still, these should be enough to get me through.

It’s missing the “collar” (?) but it was my great-grandfather’s. Smokes just fine, and required no cleaning compared to the multitude of briars he had. I don’t think the man cleaned them very often if at all, frankly.

My first pipe, MM's country gentleman. I just ordered my first briar, looking forward to that delivery.

This General is my "nice" corn cob pipe.



My others are mostly beaters like this Legend though, and make for a good chore pipe.

Those look great, especially with the maple leaves

Picked this up a while back. Has a stem made from a 1930's-era Waterman pen blank, and a hardwood bottom from a Maker's Mark bourbon barrel. Been enjoying it lately with a Virginia/Kentucky home blend.

I got this MM estate at an antiques shop, I traded a briar I didn't smoke anymore (I never liked the shape) for it. No idea what model or year it is, but the shank doesn't stick out into the bowl like the modern ones do and I like that the stem has wider mouthpiece. The chamber is fairly narrow so I'll probably use this for VAs often

Just came today. MM cobbit dwarf with a mottled stem.

I love the colors of that stem. Nice pipe rack back there, too.

I used to smoke cobs way more often than I have the past few years. Nowadays it's just my driving around pipe.
Looking at these photos make me miss them.
I have a hankering to pick up a few now.

That’s a Custom, made to a higher standard than the regular pipes. Hand-picked cobs, more careful assembly and finishing. Within the custom series there were some variations, that’s not the highest grade but all the Customs are good smokers. I think they date to the 60s - 70s.
