Best Of

Soooo….i smoke cobbs mainly when I feel lazy or labor intensive work. As I’ve said before, I don’t place a high value on these ones. They can get dirty, char the edges etc etc. Definitely cut your teeth on a Cobb before investing in a nice briar to learn the ropes so to speak. Same could be said for my workhorses which I consider some of my best smokers.

As for new pipes and my other pipes I’m fond of…

I don’t fill to the rim…rim edges get charred

I don’t use a big flame…same as above

After use…I run a pipe cleaner through

After cool down…I clean stem, stummel, bowl

After put back together…I put it away or if it’s looking shabby I will give it a little polish. This goes a long way to preserve the finish.

“IF”… I had high end pipes with beautiful finishes, perhaps, I would treat them with more respect???

Then again, I’m a firm believer, you can’t take anything with you. Therefore, smoke the mother phukers.
