Your Corn Cob Pipe in action

[pagan]

In my shop cleaning my work pipes, they get neglected

A day shooting skeet with my son-in-law. Had a blast except it has been 25 years since I shoot one of my shotguns. My shoulder reminded me of that.

 

[aldecaker]

Nice. Is that an Auto5?

 

[okiebrad]

Actually it is a Belgium sweet 16
Edit: Well I have never heard it called an Auto 5 but it appears that is what I have.

In the local park. Trying out my new Dwarf Cobbit with some old re-moisturised "Old Toby".

 

[wolfscout]

to me, nothing goes together like a good cob pipe and relaxed fishing.

Sharpening the axe smoking H&H Sweet Cask

Awesome thread! That's from the other night, I'd finished work for the day and reviewed some Prince Albert in my workshop. I smoke only cobs while I work, the briars are saved for fancier, less fire and steel-shaving filled locales. So, even though I wasn't working when this was taken, this is a natural habitat for my cob. Resting atop my welding Argon cylinder, my welding helmet and glass kiln in the background.
Aaaah, I'm going to miss this place. At least my pipes are coming with me to MN!

Here's how my setup looks at the local shop, where I do almost all of my reviewing. I've got my favorite Otis cup filled with ice water, leather mat for rubbing out and drying tobacco, and the Five Brothers that I just recently tried for the first time.
And, of course, my Morgan Polished MM Cob.

The thread title is "Your Corn Cob Pipe in Action." From the look of most of them, they haven't seen much action at all. Here are a few of my own cobs, while not "in action" at the time of the photo, they've seen plenty of action and will see much more.
I really like the photos already posted: nice, creative ways to show off your pipes.

 

[hmhaines]

Well-used, I like that. Mine are still so new... They dream of looking like yours some day!

 

[jvnshr]

Holy smokes Radio, how long have they been in action?

 

[pagan]

I love the hose clamp! this guy never throws anything away :clap:

 

[jvnshr]

Black tea, waffles and some Royal Yacht (2012) in my MM Diplomat 5th Ave with freehand vulcanite stem. I think I need to get a nice ashtray before burning the whole house down.

 

[deathmetal]

That wins the junk food of the day prize. Tea looks good too. What's in the pipe (or going to be)?

 

[jvnshr]

Deathmetal, thanks for the prize :lol: I haven't joined the grey beard club yet so I take my time to enjoy whatever I like :P And don't tell me that you haven't seen that Royal Yacht, are you getting old? :nana:

 

[jvnshr]

And since you are here, I am going to ask. Who blended RY in 2012? When did it change hands? Any idea?

 

[okiebrad]

Very good point radio. So here is a pic of my oldest and newest cobs. About 40 years difference in age.

 

[hmhaines]

40. Years.
Wowza.
