Smoking some John Patton Storm Front in a Cayuga Rhodesian.
I have never seen a pipe of that shape, without one or more concentric rings on the outside of the bowl.Smoking some John Patton Storm Front in a Cayuga Rhodesian.
I would definitely prefer to eat something called a Dagwood, as opposed to a Dagwood dog or the more suggestive Pluto pup.Of course, he ate those sandwiches with everything in them that came to be known as "Dagwoods."
As mentionedGood morning @Gaius Marius! Why did you modify your MM cob?

As Goldberg mentioned, for ease of cleaning mostly. The stem leaves space on the left and right that allows for tobacco to fall in that cannot be cleaned.Good morning @Gaius Marius! Why did you modify your MM cob?
You are correct. Rhodesians and bulldogs usually do have rings. This one, from Paul's Pipe Shop in Flint, MI, didn't have them, however. I suspect that the bowl was not given rings because the bowl is not shaped perfectly, it is kind of off balance. It is a second that I got at a good price.I have never seen a pipe of that shape, without one or more concentric rings on the outside of the bowl.
Is the end of that stem (bit?) meant to facilitate clinching the pipe with your teeth?You are correct. Rhodesians and bulldogs usually do have rings.

It can be used for clenching, but I rarely clench it with my teeth because it a mid weight pipe and, at my age, I only attempt to clench lightweight pipes.Is the end of that stem (bit?) meant to facilitate clinching the pipe with your teeth?
If so, and that is what you use it for; how effective is it?
