  1. The Pipe Hobby How-To Discussion Forum
    A buddy and I have a little contest to see who can come up with the best looking homemade pipe to be determined on our yearly hunting/camping trip in two weeks. I have a briar pipe he knows I have been working on, but doesn't know about this one nor what the other one looks like either! I...

    I'm curious to see what you fellows have experienced regarding corn cob pipes pairing up well with some blends. Personally, I've found aromatic blends like 1-Q and BCA FAR more enjoyable in a cob with the filter in place than in any other pipe. Why? STEAM (low brow thermodynamic ponderings...

    Having picked up pipe smoking recently, I decided to go with cobs first. I got me a MM Washington and Diplomat. However, I am lost as to how to clean them. A primer on corn cob I've read on Pipedia said that they can be cleaned with a pipe cleaner soaked in rubbing alcohol. I've done that and...

    I noticed a crack starting on the outside bottom of my Great Dane Spool. Actually it was below the level of the chamber, and was cracked to the hardwood plug. Since I couldn't rule out operator error, the thought of returning it to the eTailer did not enter my mind. So I thought I would try...

    As a father of a 1 year daughter old I've had less and less time to smoke a 2 hour cigar (I'm a slow puffer). I've decided that a pipe would be a fun addition to my tobacco arsenal. I see that you guys recommend a cob for a newbie such as myself. It's a beautiful Sunday afternoon and I've got...

    Does anyone know of any active forums devoted to CC fans?
  7. General Pipe Forum
    I am one of the world's biggest fans of MM CC's. I often ask myself while smoking a cob why I ever "wasted'' money on my briars (then I smoke a Sav and the answer is obvious). But I have 2 related issues with them. First, I truly believe that the inventor of paper filters was related to the...

    Disclaimer: I smoke pipes as that is how I choose to feed my nicotine addiction. Myth #1. Cob smokers are rubes and ******* hillbillies. Don't think I would like that discussion with General McCarther. Myth #2. Cobs don't need breaking in. It has been my experience that the pipes are more...

    Just curious as to the thoughts of the pipe guys about this. This pipe is only about 10 bowls old & has not been smoked overly hot once. I have only used matches to light it. The only slight abuse it has undergone is I left it outside (undercover roof) for a day after forgetting to bring it...

    Hi Everyone, I'm about to put together a small online order and want to add in either a Country Gentleman, Dane / Egg or Patriot. I've got three Legends already but they have relatively small bows (from .6 to .7 wide). Are the bowls on these hardwood-plugged cobs wider? If so which will be...

    Hey Pipers! As some of you may know by now, I just got blown back to the bujeezusbelt by Owaindav! He whacked me with a great bent cob and a really incredible selection of baccy. I haven't smoked a cob in well over 20yrs and I'm hoping you guys will have some tips for as to proper break-in...

    I have read some threads touting the smoking of Prince Albert in a cob. I like Prince Albert, but have only smoked it in a briar. To those Prince Albert smokers, is there a difference between the Prince in a cob and the Prince in a briar?

    I've thought about attempting to make a corn cob pipe. I could in no way even near the quality of a Missouri Meerschaum cob but I suppose I could make a keepsake of it for display. Of course, I'd have to smoke it at least once. Here's a good link for anyone interested in trying it for...

    These are my 2 MM Generals. The one on the left is my VA dedicated cob and the one on the right is my English blend cob. I don't smoke very many English blends so it doesn't get much use. The Virgina Cob on the other hand, gets smoked about 4 times a day, give or take. I bought both of these at...

    Just had a bowl of Jack Knife plug that tasted like Ennerdale Flake. You can pretty much guess the rest of the story. Now is there any hope for this cob outside of just dedicating it to lakeland blends hence forward?

    Enjoying it all right here on Puff this morning. Does it get any better?

    For awhile now I have wanted to pickup a Forever Stem but just can't get myself to lay down the $25 for a stem, so the idea hit me that maybe one of my other stems will fit. This stem is off a Brebbia Ninja that I picked up last month it is a little wide where the stem meats the pipe but the...

    After some advice on these forums I picked up a couple of MM cobs at my B & M today. I used search to see if this had been addressed, and while I found a pretty awesome thread for "mudding" a broken in cob I didn't see this specifically mentioned. Should I work them like a briar, starting with...

    So I was surfing the web a couple of months ago and happened upon a site for a pipe maker/repairer. He was also selling lucite corn cob (different colors and sizes) stems instead of those crap plastic ones. I've tried to google it and I can't seem to find the place again. Anyone know anything?

    There's a lot to read about corn cobs on this most august forum; most of it good, some of it bad -- too much to just ignore 'em. They're good for newbs one poster says, they're cheap and can't be ghosted; I like 'em fine another writes, and thusly he just posted. Burley blends are what they...
