so why don't you fuggin make up your gawd damned mind.

is it the "tobacco"? or is it some stupid ass agenda you have for making a case for cobs?

and why are you TROLLING about it?

i've kept quiet here lately, but i'm growing quite sick of YOUR sh*t-stirring down here.




soooo... which is it? are you a pipe smoker that is only interested in smoking tobacco, or are you a TROLL with an agenda?
judging by your responses down here lately, and the fact you just stated you were trolling, i'll go with "troll with an agenda".
nice form.

very sad, indeed.

Just wanted to go ahead and say I think this is definately one of those "to each his own" topics and there's not much of a right or wrong on this but here's my rub on it.

I'm a younger pipe smoker and not a huge cob smoker just because to be honest, the asthetics as well as the fact that the two briars that I have are extremely sentimental to me and it feels weird to get anything else. One was a gift and it means a great deal to me so even though it's not the most expensive thing in the world, I make sure I take extremely good care of it, and it's a damn good pipe; the other being my great-grandpa's old pipe (was given his old cob and briar). Since he was gone before I was ever born it means alot to me to be able to smoke it because I think about all the stories I've heard about him with how hard he worked and what a good man he was and all so it's really like the only thing I really have to know him by.

Sorry, kind of got sentimental there but anyway the point is to each his own because obviously different people have different feelings about the pipes they smoke.

And the quote that says it all...

A cob with an agenda........... why can't we all just get along? Coming in here with an agenda is pretty stupid. No one is going to change anyone's mind or preference. They are just going to make enemies and detract from the fun the rest of us are trying to have. I can respect other's opinions but don't care to be preached at or lectured to.

It is the tobacco. Nothing in that has changed.

and why are you TROLLING about it?

Dissenting opinion is trolling now, huh?

[/COLOR]soooo... which is it? are you a pipe smoker that is only interested in smoking tobacco, or are you a TROLL with an agenda?

Oh, have no doubt about it, tobacco remains paramount. The fact remains though, that some here have there noses too far in the air, and, in at least one case that point was made quite clearly.

Is it not that way in everything in life, cars, houses, jobs, military branches??? If that is to much for you to hadel, get a cabin in the woods and include this in your manifesto. I was baited into flaming in another thread lets stop flame baiting.

dissenting opinion is what YOU are getting from your TROLLING. you just stated yourself, did you not, that you started this topic to see what responses you got?? that is TROLLING. (<--wiki link)
you are trolling for "dissenting opinions/arguements", where YOU then show your form as a "corn-cob snob". if your intent on here is to argue, you may be fairly lonely as everyone ignores you (which i'm about to do as soon as i'm done with this post).
have we not had this discussion a few weeks ago? so what is your point now? this topic won't generate any real helpful discussion because it's based on YOUR unwavering "corn-cob snob" opinion that will never change.

as per my reply above, you are the one that has your nose too far in the air regarding your beloved corn cobs.
if it's truely about tobacco, why the **** do you care what others smoke tobacco in? don't bother answering, not really a question, we already know the answer.




* i don't give a rats ass what anyone smokes, as long as they enjoy it. i just don't like someone judging someone else because they choose to smoke tobacco in a different type of pipe. to each his own. not exactly, or even close to, what CS was built upon.
i'm not making these replies because i dislike cobs - i own 5. i dislike the trolling attitude and snobbery present in your posts, just like many others here do, and why you won't get too many responses (ppl are sick of your trolling corn-cob snob schtick and know it's a waste of time to even discuss the issue with you because you have an agenda).

I love informative threads. And also to give my opinion on this subject. I am no longer a corn cob fan, used to have about three and no longer like them. Much rather smoke a briar pipe. You can call me a snob for not liking something I don't care. Also, if the pipe doesn't smoke good, then the tobacco in the pipe won't be as good. Just for the fun of it, billhud has now had two different pipe forum members bow down to him, I just think that is funny.

I'm fairly certain that Meerschaum-man knows in his heart, that his beloved white gold gives the purest tobacco kiss in the pipe world. Meanwhile Claypipeboy is busy building a small fire pit to do his bi-monthly trial by fire cleaning of the ultimate smoke facilitator since the days of Grog and Mead.
But I haven't been able to find their threads proclaiming their loves as the World Wide Champions of unadulterated pure smoking pleasure.


Hmmmm....

Maybe they figure that what they like best is best, and what I like best is best........for me
