I would have liked it to be $10-15 less, but I‘d had a couple drinks and said to myself, “I don’t actually have any nice cobs”... that being said is really well made and smokes great. I’m stIll up in the air on the cost. We’ll see if I kick myself, although I haven’t yet.I almost pull the trigger on that one too but 50 usd for a cob its overkill?
