[QUOTE="Headmint, post: 157646, member: 1758"] I'd like to hear from you. I know this is the Brothers of Briar, but surely there are some cob smokers out there. I'd like to know about the care and feeding of your cobs. Does anyone smoke high-end stuff in them and how did it go? Simple, affordable burleys perform well in a cob (so I understand), but what about hardcore English/Balkan/VaPers, etc.? Is it like eating Beluga caviar off a paper plate? Or is it heaven? Regarding care, let's hear your methods. I'll tell you mine: simple. I run a pipe cleaner through, a dry one, after every smoke, and allow it to rest with a fresh cleaner sitting in it. Works well. I don't use solvents of any kind. I used to use Everclear, but I noticed it gradually altered the flavor (to unpleasant). I suspect the cob and wood were absorbing and retaining...especially when I ran out of Everclear and started using 40 proof vodka. Yuck. Good thing MMs are cheap. Anyway, I'm sure there is a fascinating and well-developed corn cob pipe thread somewhere, but, what the hell, I'd like to start a new one :) [/QUOTE]
