Escudo in a cob

[Mad Hatter]

Cobs are pretty decent. I've recently been smoking mine more often. I didn't much care for the small bowl so I figured out that you can bore them out to a greater diameter without affecting the burn and you can open up the shank to accept a 9mm filter too if you want. I still don't like the cheap stems but I'll find a solution to that too.

I enjoy my cobs. Smoke them at work or when doing something that may damage a briar if it were to fall on the ground.

For a good deal on briars, you may want to look into buying an estate pipe or two. I have been buying lots of estates on Ebay the last few months and have had some really nice ones turn up. I even made a blog earier this week to document my attempts at restoring the pipes I get.
