Great collection of cobs there!

I don't have any fancy ones, just a bunch of good ol' cobs. Probably 15 or 20. I love my cobs. They smoke wonderful, dry, and take a beating like no other pipe.

I don't own any of those Old Dominion cobs, but I like the look of them....unfortunately I have heard they have major burn out issues....like within 10 bowls they pretty much spontaneously combust while sitting in your rack bad....How are yours holding up @OnePyroTec ?

Same here.
I've been known to smoke 3 bowls consecutive with no rest in a cob. I would never do that with a nice briar.
If the cob burns out, who cares. They're cheap. At least mine are. Those in the OP don't look too cheap.

Ditto. And I tap them on the ashtray when emptying them. Would never do that with a briar or meer.

I've bought a couple of the 10-packs of MM seconds; still have most of them. I keep a number of them unsmoked for guests and newbie starter kits (cob, wooden golf tee, pipe cleaners, stick matches, and tobacco samples).

Eventually you'll want to get a proper tamper/scraper tool, but a wooden golf tee will do in a pinch I got that idea from a Pufferette who does not seem to have found her way to the new site.

Back to back bowls often in cobs. As said, they are cheap.

The only ones that I have that really are not cheap are the R.Santia cobs. The bone rings along each were a bit more than a 10 pipe grab bag.

I got the old ones on ebay cheap, and the bamboo shanks didn't cost a lot neither did the stems.
