Ive been smoking pipes for over 50 years. My grandmother Maguire was from Ireland. She started me on tea and the pipe when I was 3 years old!😂☘️corn cobbs are my favorite. Cheers I've gotten rid of all briars, Petersons...❤️‍🔥

I have many cobs that I enjoy tremendously! MM has a wide selection of styles and sizes! The prices can't be beat and they smoke very well! I also enjoy their maple wood offerings! I recommend them highly! Thanks for your videos!

Corn cobs may be the best material there is for pipes.

I was lucky and got turned on to cobs early on…love ‘em!

I have a few cobs and I really enjoy smoking them. I prefer the " Neked " cobs .... they smoke cooler than the finished ones.

I love a corn cob pipe! I have some briar's, but there is something special about a cob. I have a Bent Apple Diplomat and I have a Cobbit Elf on the way. My wife is a Lord of the Rings fan and she has a Cobbit Shire and Dwarf... she loves them too.

MM General bent in natural finish is my first choice and I have a large collection of Petersons and Savinelli’s. I enjoy a pretty pure Burley either Cube Cut or Broken Flake. I have a long term contact at MM and she aways takes care of my order. When I’m trying a new tobacco, my cob is the first choice. The General will go for an hour or maybe more on a full bowl.👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I have 4 cobs, and have used them for 5 years, they are just fine, now and again I toy with the idea of buying a meerschaum, I will one day. But cobs are great value for money, smoke nice and cool. I just make sure I scrape them out after every smoke. Cheers

Great video! My Country Gentleman is one of my favorite pipes, and I got a new MM Louis pipe today that I'll be lighting up soon.

Got a MM Legend, Missouri Pride, and 1 Ozark hardwood. My first personal pipes. I think my Missori Pride smokes best of the 3.

I bought my first pipe today, a corn cob Missouri Meerschaum #690 Legend with bent pipe. I've only smoked cigars. No cigarettes. It's after 9pm as I write this so it'll be tomorrow afternoon when I use the #690 Legend for the first time.

OK, you've inspired me to take another look at my collection of corn cob pipes which has been hidden away in a large box. I also like that you mention they are distinctly American. Thanks.

This is the greatest video ever on the many vertues of the "lowly" Corncob pipe. I've smoked Briars & "real" Meerchams for years but I prefer Corncobs over any other kind of pipe - with or without the filter. Years ago I would buy a quantity at a time straight from the Missouri Meerscham factory. Very nice & friendly communication back & forth. Thank You !

Thanks for the video! You gotta love those corncob pipes!

Good Afternoon 😊 I have one corn cob pipe 😂 Awesome smoker & the Flavours from the tobacco is enhanced 👍🏼 Thanks for sharing & Greetings from S.A🇿🇦

Great video! Love mine

Smoking some Amphora in my M.M. cob as I'm watching this!

but actually a Dutchman started producing the corn cop pipe...always those crazy Dutch people, they are great people, pretty neat and they absolutely love America

Corn Cobs are great. 👍👍

I've been smoking briar pipes for years, but I just got my first cob (a MM "Let Freedom Ring" bent) about a week ago. I got it as a beater pipe, but I'm loving it so much that now I want to add more cobs to my regular briar collection. My cob smokes cool and dry, and it gives the tobacco a pleasant nutty/woody flavor. Also, I've been using Savinelli 6mm balsa filters, which work well with the filter stem. I'm officially a cob fan now.

I smoke corn cobs n pear pipes both are fantastic. Good video.

Awesome vid and great history/pipe facts 👍

I already had several briar pipes when I bought a corn cob. It wasn't a price thing. It was collecting. Later I bought a couple meerschaum pipes. Just seems natural have pipes of different materials. Eventually I'll get a pipe in morta.

Enjoy my General. Great outdoor option.

I have several cobs. Most of them have Forever Stems and smoke as good or better than my briars.

Nice video on the value of the simple cob. I have maybe 80 briars and about 20 plus various cobs. I will tell you that I tend to smoke my cobs more due to all the reasons you have stated. When traveling, they are all I smoke as I don’t want to expose my briars. Some blends do charter much better in cobs versus briars from my experience. And yes, there is an unnecessary degree of pretentiousness and snobbery in the piping community regarding the merits of an inexpensive cob and aromatic blends that is certain, Oh well, their loss IMO.

I started with MM Cobs and have slowly grown my briar collection, including one meerschaum, and even a few I've carved myself. I have over 20 briar pipes now, but I still go back to my cobs from time to time. One of my best smoking pipes is a cob that I got out of a bag of smokable seconds. I've smoked it so much that the side is cracking and it's in danger of burning out, but it's right up there in smoking performance with my absolute best briars, and I'm going to be very sad when it finally burns out, even though it's ugly as sin. Thanks for the convo!

Great video brother ! keep up the videos you give good info and you'll grow for sure !

Heck yes! Corn cobs are wonderful. I would smoke mine more if i could get a 9mm filter in there.😂

From Washington Missouri, that was a fun video. Rather unexpected, but fun. You're ever in the area you should check out their "museum" behind the factory. It's pretty small, but at a whopping cost of nothing I mean the price is right. Probably take you 15 minutes to half an hour to get through. They got some kind of cool stuff comment and the staff is pretty knowledgeable and quite a lot of fun to talk to as well.

If anyone has seen me around the comments section of many presenters they should have seen my statement, "I love my Cobs!!," ihave quite a few, all faves and well used..change the cheap paper the filter and run a pipe cleaner through occasionally and good to go😊

Just came accross your channel... Enjoying your content (subbed you)

Not gotten into cubs much, but I like how everyone enjoys them 😁👍🏻 good stuff

Very good video because I have 5-6 MM cobs and it nice to hear others using them. I’m really interested in that custom cob you had made for such a great price, but it’s got me thinking on trying to play with my older MM pipes to see if I can change their look ! Thank again a new subscriber.👍🤓

MM cobs are great. I began with corn cobs and smoked those exclusively for 3 years before I bought a briar. I find my aromatic blends are much better in the cobs. Just my experience. Peace to all

Thanks a lot for sharing what corncob pipes are all about. I cannot help fully agreeing with you for the opinions about corncob pipes. There are people who see pipes as a kind of art. There are people who use pipes just as tools. And there are people who require pipes to be artistic and pragmatic. I believe corncob pipes can meet all expectations all these people have. As a Japanese, it is a lot of fun to import what is new in Missouri Meerchams.

Couldn't agree more, while I do appreciate my briars I go back again and again to cobs, they just work, never had an issue with any of them unlike some horribly expensive mistakes with the likes of Peterson.

COBN' IT RIGHT NOW

I've smoked pipes for around thirty years. I did try a Cobb for a little while shortly after I started really getting into the pipes. Of course there was no KZfaq or even Internet back then for any information. So my Cobb was probably a very cheap one. Even though by that time I already had a Peterson, and three other Briar pipes. But the one thing I noticed with the Cobb pipe was this slightly sweet taste during smoking that seemed to grow stronger and stronger the closer I got to the end of my tabbaco in it's bowl. I can't tell you what the stem was made of for sure. But it was probably plastic. So I quickly became sick of that sweet corn note that came through stronger and stronger while I smoked the Cobb and I finally threw it away. And I've never tried another one. But your video has got me to thinking about trying them again. Now that I know there's more options for a more quality Cobbs out there I pretty sure that I'm going to get a Missouri Mershem with a better stem and give it another try. Thank you for the information.

Agreed on all points. Cobs are king.

What's good enough for Popeye, Mammy Yokum, and Frosty the Snowman is good enough for me! ;-) I bought my first pipe, a briar, in 1961, and it was a year or so before I bought a corn cob to try. I've never been without several of them since and have about ten at the moment. OK, you're probably not going to bring one to a formal wedding reception, but in most settings, don't worry that some people might think you're a hick or too impoverished to have a "real" pipe. Those people are not worth thinking about anyway. Some of my college and law school profs smoked corn cobs; 'nuff said.

The choice of MM cobs and few other suppliers (excl. Chinese) was never better…than…the present time 😊😊 I smoke cobs…mostly in sunny months and have maybe 25 different MM cobs. I like the painted by CJ at Milan Tobacco cobs too 😄😉💨💨💨

Mm uses their own special grown corn for their pipes I find cobs more absorbent than brair, bought 36 seconds and rotate them Letting them rest for a year works wonders, now their the best pipes I,ve ever had

Got a couple need to do some mods drop a blob of mortar in the bottom and sort stem

I’m looking into getting a corn cob pipe does a filter matter that much? I’ve smoked cigars and smoked a pipe a few times is a filter on a pipe just for little tobacco piece’s coming through the pipes or is it for filtering the smoke? Great video btw

Hello! Very good video, thanks)) I am not a pro pipe smoker but I learning)) three weeks ago I buy my first 2 corncob pipes -1781 let freedom ring by MMC. They're awesome) I want to ask you, do you know why they covered by maple sap? This is for color, taste, smell or something else?

Woah, what color did you select when you ordered this stem? 5:27 I am wanting to order one just like that, but the photos they show for the colors arent great. I really look forward to hearing from you! Is it by chance the "brown swirl." ?

I'm not against the material of the corncob, my pipe is pearwood. I'm not a fan of short stems. You get me a corncob with a 10+inch stem, I'll be very happy to smoke the corncob.

Hi any tips on making your own?

I remember buying them in the corner drug store for 49 cents.

Yes, those Chinese pipes need to stop being sold around the US
