My Cob after 3 bowls. Is this par?

[Arizona]

Here's my first corn cob pipe - I got it in the spring of 1981 in colonial Williamsburg,VA when I was 18... Still smokes great! It's gone thru about four stems (i'm gentle on them, but they still wear out cuz it's that cheap plastic).

One more...

Set a coin or pipe tool in the "now obvious" depression beneath the lid; twist the coin to break the vacuum; twist open lid without drama. Sounds silly but it took me more than five minutes of temporary insanity to figure this out. I'm sure I am the only one.

nope i also stared at the tin and finally figured it out, bout 5 minutes also

they didn't have a price, so i asked, and they said it was $2 (so i got 3).

hopefully they're smoking well for him.

They are smoking very well. I love my cobs. Just gonna stick to those and my Savinelli till I master packing, and keeping my bowl going well. I figure I can spend tha money on more baccy.

cool deal.

if anyone wants a similar cob like that, let me know. if they still have 'em for $2-3 buck, i'll only charge you 10. (trying to be like "JUDDS" on ebay. charge you $8 for shipping, but only pay $2.)
