Why are Dunhills so Expensive?

All hail the corn cob snob lowest common denominator!!  

Nothing, NOTHING can beat a cob's smoking ability.

Don't know why I have 75+ briars and only 7 cobs :shock:

I feel this way, too. Don't tempt me. I have during bad moments given thought to, ah..."simplifying" things, if ya' know what I mean. But briars are more substantial, like good furniture, and look cooler, which is the important thing--I believe it was Oscar Wilde who said the most important thing in life is to strike a pose. Some briars even smoke well.

That's projection plain and simple. Unless you could make a serious existential argument in defense.

At the risk of taking this thread completely off topic (if that hasn't already happened) and throwing a cat amongst the pigeons (always fun :twisted: ):

I don't get the cob hype. I have a couple reserved for fishing and find them an acceptable and easily replaceable substitute for a briar, but truthfully prefer the latter. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong.

Anyway, my 2c.

...I don't get the cob hype.

In my case, they just taste sweeter, more mellow, have a rapport with the tobacco that doesn't always exist with briar, they're lighter, and their coloring and "corny" taste appeal to me. They are never bitter, I smoke about ten bowls in a cob to every one I smoke in a briar, and they are care free when reading or doing anything that requires concentration. Other than that, briar is the way to go!
