[QUOTE="derlict311, post: 158153, member: 1744"] I picked up my cob pipes (MM's Diplomat and Country Gentleman soon after) as a suggestion to fully enjoy John Patton's wonderful burley blend Storm Front at best. And boy am I glad I did! I don't know if I love that blend or the cobs I smoke them in more. There are many advantages to cobs, they require much less care than a more expensive briar, you can smoke the crap out of them, they are a great conversation piece while in the public and are just perfect for the hot summer months, as mentioned. Oh, if you lose one fishing it will be OK, too..just buy another. I enjoy burley and virginia blends in them every day. I have not ventured out too much with the lats or otherwise for fear that irreverseibly ghost the pipe. Right now, I am having a blast sticking to the "summery" blends of burleys and virginias in my beloved cobs. The aesthetics that cobs offer, I've found, peak the curiousity of the people who watch me smoke. At first, you hear the whole "Huck Finn" thing, but after that b.s. subsides they wonder why I enjoy them so much. "Find out for yourself", I say. Any thoughts on what else is exceptional in cobs? I can't imagine [b]everything[/b] is... [/QUOTE]
