They make pipes out of corn? Have they been doing that long?

Seriously, I have been known to smoke a cob...often. What always tickles me is when folks refer to them as disposable. I have not put a new cob in service in about 4 years. A well smoked cob is a well smoked cob. Once they are "seasoned'', the smoke is sublime. I treat them pretty much like I do my briars. Smoke several bowls a day, wipe out the bowl with a paper towel and run pipe cleaners through the stem and shank as needed. The one shown below is at least 4 years old, looks like hell and smokes like heaven.
