Picking out a Missouri Meerschaum Cob

In the meantime bro, roll a small puro of that dark fired wrapper leaf you have and do “bobs chop” if you can’t wait to take her for a whirl. Remember gentle sipping, or if clenching slowly breathing in and out of your nose can draw enough tobacco into your mouth for tasting. Let us know how you get on!

Well, David hit it on the head. I had to give it a go. Went to the scrap bin of my rolling station. And chopped up some leaf cuts and end trims.

An enjoyable evening by the woodstove. My pipe will be a nice accompaniment to my cigars.
hello Biglizard1,
sorry I am late to the conversation..... A cob is an excellent choice for a pipe, the pipes as a whole smoke excellent without the complexity of break in time for a briar...
I have seven.....I have three Country Gentlemen, and like the pipe so much I bought an $18 forever acrylic stem from Steve Norse at Vermont freehand...more than the pipe cost..!!!
worth every penny...
If you can find a a Brick and mortar tobacco shop I think it is best to pick it out in person, they usually have a tub and you can get one that has the stem mounted into the cob closer to the bottom, which is important, as you smoke it the shank will burn in and give you a nicely fused bottom with the hard wood plug.... you can see this in the last pic, this is the first pipe I bought after returning to pipe smoking after a 25 year hiatus, it is about a year and a half old....
