***What Are You Smoking? March 2020***

[virkia]

I'm curious about when/where "cob Tuesday" came from.. Do you know? As a fan of pneumonic devices, I would have went with "MM Monday", so it kinda messes with me.

I've read that Tuesday is a celebratory day in the wonderful world of the corn cob pipe because of the patent registered on that day on the 9th July 1878:-
"On July 9th, 1878, our Founder, Henry Tibbe won the right to patent his way of increasing the durability of his corn cob pipes by "filling the interstices of the cob with a self-hardening cement". Patenting his process of filling the hollows where the kernels of the corn set on the cob with Plaster of Paris."

Possibly my favorite blend. And I’m not a big burley guy. Incredible tobacco.
