Chinese Corn Cob pipes

[mooster]

Run. Run like the wind. Too many stories of these falling apart mid smoke or even catching fire. If you live in snow country, give them to the kids to use with snowmen.

Or grab some dish soap and try your luck at bubbles.

I was gifted one some years back. When trying to remove some excess material at the bottom of the bowl with my czech tool it simply went through the bottom of the pipe. My relationship with them ended there.

I didn't even know they grew corn in China.

I try to avoid stuff from China - especially anything that goes in the mouth. After all the stories of toxic children's toys and pet stuff it's just not worth the risk. Zero quality control and zero accountability.

Bought one for curiousity sake. As cited above the label covered a hole in the heel. Pitched it.

If I recall it was Chinese production that shipped us poison dog-killing pet food, dangerous children's toys and baby formula laced with highly toxic melamine flame retardant. I'd rather put my dogs tail in my mouth. Tell the P&C club they have lost their compass if not their minds.

If I recall it was Chinese production that shipped us... baby formula laced with highly toxic melamine flame retardant.

Yeah well you don't want your baby to burst into flames do you? Safety first I guess...

Viewers be advised that taking acid before listening to something like this is recommended.

True. Particularly when the Robert Fripp guitar solo kicks in...
