Don't get me wrong, I love my briar pipes, but once in a while nothing beats loading up my trusty MM 'Neked pipe with good ol' 1Q. Simpler is better in this instance ::
Happy puffin,
I love my cobs. I have a General, 5th Ave, Country Gentleman, Diplomat, Diplomat (Maple), Rob Roy Legend, Washington and 2 Morgan's. There have been times where I thought about cleaning up some of my briars and selling them on ebay as I enjoy my cobs so much, but I know that I'll just regret it and want to buy more briar pipes. Needless to say I'll be keeping all of my briars, but I do go through phases where I only want to smoke my cobs.
