The Briar's Good, But...

I underestimated the value and power of a cob... Then I bought one just to see what all the hype was about. I will never doubt again.
Long live the cob.

Out of all my fancy pipes, my MM cobs still tend to be the ones I pick up most

Cobs are the popcorn of the pipe world. When you can't decide what to smoke or what to smoke it in, the trusty cob never fails to satisfy.

Something about Burley and cobs that is a perfect match.

Cobs serve me well. I almost always smoke my aromatic blends in a cob, and really love how a most va/per blends taste in my Cobbit Wizard.

 

[tgwilt]

I only have 3 cobs, but they are well used and loved.

Looking for a nice codger burley the way they used to be, you might try PC Russ' Log Cabin.

Captain Black in a Country Gentleman was my first experience, and that same cob is my work pipe

My very first smoke was 1Q in a cob. I still go to them (I have only 3) every now and then and when I do I always use a filter. I cut them in half and get twice as many per box! Do you cob fans use filters?

I'm a Carter Hall smoker, so of course I love my cobs. My main one is swollen, cracking, darkening and bending from all the stress. The cake on the inside is holding it together. I'm on my second stem. When the time comes, Elmers glue will fix it. And yes the cobs do seem to smoke them selves. And no filters for me.

Damn... I wish I could smoke cobs. There's something to be said for the elegant, practical simplicity. Unfortunately I'm too much a snob to smoke cobs. How many cobs can a cob snob smoke if a cob snob can't smoke cobs?

Placed an order over the weekend with Aristocob for a Diplomat Apple, and a MacArthur Classic.

 

[pipeanddrum]

...ask Bob.

 

[didimauw]

Oh come on guys, Im getting ready to order another diplomat cob (lost my first one) and what Mso says, goes, so I gotta order some log cabin now too...
Hey Nate...why don't you just secretly smoke the cobs when ur alone? You don't have to tell the briars...

 

[danhester]

One of the things I love about cobs is just how accessible they make the hobby. Plus, I love the American tradition of a MM. They're awesome!

 

[iamn8]

Nobody has ever seen me smoke so that's not the issue. Sometimes snobbery has nothing to do with anybody else

 

[mcitinner1]

After reading this thread, I felt inclined to dig my MM Wizard out from a drawer of cobs and load it with some Cross Eyed Cricket. Tasty, for sure...Thanks for the inspiration.

 

[okiebrad]

I really enjoy my MM cobs. Country Gentleman, Legend, and a Mark Twain. My next two will be a Freehand and a MacArthur Classic for the bowl size and depth.

I have yet to smoke a corncob. The drug store down the street carries them, so I really don't have an excuse. Maybe I'll pick one up tomorrow.

Foggy - I love Black Shag! I'll have to initiate my 1st cob with it!
