Before MM started really selling a ton of these high end cob offerings i bought a bent country gentleman and put a nice vulcanite stem on it. Reminds me very much of these 2 pipes. Great smoker. Cobs are awesome. I think my favorite pipe i own is an MM Missouri pride with an amber danish bit. Cost me like 6 bucks and smokes so so good.
It’s a great day when I can sit on the patio after work and enjoy a new hobbiton piper video! Didn’t want anything complex so I grabbed my capt black white and MM legend. Wife is mixing me up a Jameson highball as we speak!
Absolutely love my Charlestown cobbler picked up an emerald and it immediately became a favourite so it was a no brainer to get "the red one" and had no regrets it's a brilliant pipe great vid as per 👍
My C&D Charlestown Cobbler was delivered today. And lo and behold I discovered your review after searching for ways to “break in” a cob. I have had a less expensive cob for years now. I wanted to avoid the bitter taste of the first few bowls before the shank develops a char. Some have suggested using a torch lighter to pre char it. I may try that.
@@williamcrane1 I would just smoke it with the understanding that your flavor experience is only going to improve with time. This way you can start building that bowl cake as well.
Hello Kevin i am jose luis from argentina really very good your corn cob MM in colaboration with C and D the stem its wonderfull.Thank you for share us and super goods smokes my friend.👌👌👌😀😀😀
Isn`t it interesting.... even the stem of a pipe can bring back the memories. The color of that stem reminds me of the accordion I used to play with my dad at the family cabin. I`d pull the accordion back and forth and he`d transfer his piano skills to the keyboard.... with combined efforts we made some lovely tunes...and memories....out in the woods- just the two of us😄
I love mine. I've had it for probably three years or so. I was just smoking a bowl of Solani ABF in it today and was thinking that the pipe almost looks like it did when new. And I agree, I believe it is worth the money when considering the nice stem that comes with it. If all I had was MM cobs to smoke for the rest of my life, I would be just fine. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. Congrats, all the best.
How's ABF handle in a cob? I've never been able to get a handle on that blend in a briar. It gets a pine needle flavor to it. It gets rave reviews but I've never enjoyed it the way others do.
@@nicholasklein9180 For me at least, ABF smokes beautifully in a cob. Of course, the ABF I'm smoking now has been aging in a jar for a couple of years. It wasn't bad fresh, but seems to be a little smoother and creamier with a little bit of age. Happy smokes.
I've had mine since December and broke it in with a light aromatic (Cellini CX). Just for fun, one day I tried some Samuel Gawith Balkan Flake in it and it tastes better in the Cob than my Briar designated specifically for English/Balkan blends. Great pipe !
Nice looking cob , but $30 for a cob ! …Now I’d willingly pay that for a MM if they ever made a 9mm filter cob , but sadly I don’t think they ever will .
100% I would love a 9mm cob. I jsbe drilled the cobbit shire abd dagner to 6mm but it just isn't the same.. man what I wouldn't give for that awesome diamondback they put out in a 9mm 😍
I have not started smoking a pipe yet , but I have a job which I'm starting in a few weeks so should hopefully get the money. I generally like to research something for several months whether it be a new hobby instrument or an expensive buy before I even announce I want to do something. I don't like to start things in the dark, I've been constantly practicing the breath method with a straw and juice for ages. Nobody in my family that Is alive today smokes a pipe, my great grandfather did but he died before I was born. But I remember we where out holidaying on this campervan camp site here in the UK as a young child and I was out for my walk (I've always been an outdoors person if I'm stuck in a room or indoors all day I tend to loose my marbles slightly) and I saw somone smoking a pipe and I remember the smell very distinctly it definitely wasn't an aromatic it had a dark smokey heavy smell, and I thought it was rather nice i realised tobbacco doesn't have to have that nasty chemical smell you get off ciggerets. I'm gonna see if I cant get mum to smoke a pipe she's been using ciggerets all my life. Tolkien helps of course, I must say im much more inspired by tye man himself in this regard rather than his characters, to me he is the image of a pipe smoker whenever I close my eyes I picture him, just as some may picture Einstein or C.S Lewis or what have you. I'd like to try some capstan .
@@hobbitonpiper I guess one question I do have, and it's probably a silly one, what type of tobbacco would be best to start with, aromatics as often seems to be the types people recommend for a beginner or a lighter non aromatic like peterson early morning pipe? Bearing in mind pipe tobbacco isn't exactly cheap over here. I must say im more partial to the idea of EMP. I'm not going to be smoking indoors much at all. There's this rather good looking brick and mortor store near me, well I say near me it's in covent garden which is all the way accross the other side of London but I can take a train amd get there quite easily. They have an attractive range of peterson pipes, savineli and I think they stock chacom as well. They have their own house blends aswell which seems to be all they stock that I can find out but it's the closest actual store to me that I know of. Anyway yet another long comment.
Thats one of my favorite cobs to enjoy. I love mine. I've been trying to get a vermont freehand stem for my diplomat since you made that vid but they seem to always be out of stock. I'll keep trying. Enjoy your pipes my friend.
@@hobbitonpiper All set.... Got stem B in the blue ripple for my bent diplomat and got stem G straight in red amber tortoise swirl for my patriot. I know the patriot isn't that popular with folks but I love mine. I'm like a kid now waiting for Christmas! Thanks for all the great vids.
I’m about to start my pipe smoking journey along side my dad. We get our pipes tomorrow, mine being the apple diplomat and my dad’s being the country gentleman corn cob pipes. I was just wondering for future reference, what is better to smoke out of? A non filtered pipe or a filtered pipe?
I have the bent Charles Towne Cobbler, too, and a straight Emerald. I always think of them as a pair, too, and they're great! They're my go-to pipes for camping and bonfires.
Hello, new viewer here! I’m also a new piper as well, my wife recently got me outfitted for my birthday. I’ve really enjoyed your videos and was wondering if you could do a new piper 101 video? I’m personally struggling with packing the pipe correctly. Thank you for all the content!!
Hey Kevin, good to see you. Love the happiest music intro on RUclips. I got one of these cobs when they first came out. It's a pretty good workhorse pipe. I've smoked quite a bit of C & D Corn Cob Pipe and Button Nose in mine. It just seemed to be a natural fit as when I got mine it was close to the Holidays. Have a good one my friend!
I remember some time ago seeing you comment to someone that you had your eye on this pipe, it's nice to see that you've acquired it and enjoy it. After dipping my toe in the water with a country gentleman I went all in and bought the Cobbler, Judge and Caroler from the C&D collaboration and I really cherish these fine corn cob pipes. In my humble opinion these cobs are well worth the extra money. I very much hope to purchase the Lucky #7 cob soon. I also think the codger blends really shine in a cob, I wont smoke SWR out of anything else. Anyway, Best wishes to you and yours Kevin. Happy smokes!
Thank you for sharing. While watching this, I fired up my MM emerald for the first time, I really like the way this shape looks, I'm confident it will perform just as well. All the best.
I was just looking at that pipe the other day, it's a beauty! :) Today, I'm smoking my MM Bent Emerald with an aromatic blend I made myself from several different Sutliff blends. Cheers! 🤠
@@hobbitonpiperit is! I find myself reaching for it more than any of my other pipes lately. It's just so pleasant to hold and look at, and it smokes beautifully! Gotta love a top-notch cob 😉
I have a forever stem and it greatly improves a cob IMO. I drilled mine out to take a 6mm filter, making it even better! Have an excellent Friday, Kevin. 😀💨💨

Thank you so much 🙏, I so appreciate you supporting and encouraging my efforts!!
I didn't know about the birth pipe but am now seaching. I'm 1971 Kevin - early 70's were vintage years my man 😊
@@geoffsimmons1737 yes they were!! Being 50s ain’t so bad, is it :)
This pipe is my dedicated Autumn Evening pipe. Perfect fall combo!
Excellent!

I’m right there with you same pipe and same tobacco. I’m really enjoying your posts! Keep it up my friend.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying my videos!
Did it again got the emerald and Elf Cobbit. To many pipes for only started puffing last month. Jeff
Haha it’s fun isn’t it! :)
When I 1st looked at it I thought it’s a emerald with a different stem and like you I love my emerald so may have to pull the trigger on this one👍👍🦡
Very similar! One to smoke while the other is resting I suppose haha :)
One of my favorite pipes. Have it with me today
Awesome, Michael! :)
Enjoying a bowl of C&D We Three Kings in a MM C&D Charlestown Cobbler while watching your video. Happy Smokes!
Ah very nice, ‘it’s the season! I really enjoy this pipe!
Great to see you, Kevin. I still enjoy my very first Missouri Meerschaum cob at least once a week or more. 🙏🏻
Cobs will always have a place on my pipe rack :)
Always good video good contact to keep them covered brother coming
Thank you Davey :)

Love your pipe storeies...
Thank you! It’s great to see you here today 🙏:)
A corn cobbler is next on my list to get!! Those stems do look nice!! Great video!!
Be sure to consider this one as well, if you can find it!:
ruclips.net/video/jPADMBNefPc/видео.html
I have an Emerald and it's a nice stem but a tight straw for me.
Others have said the same recently about the Emerald, I wonder if they messed up a batch last year, luckily mine was just fine
I have the green one 👍
The Emerald is great!
I love mine, I smoke it at least once a week for my morning drive to work.
It’s a perfect pipe for that, Sean!
@@hobbitonpiper yes sir; out of your line of sight, smokes great, feels great in the mouth and hangs perfectly.
I love the looks of a cob pipe! I think it would be well worth $30! Thanks for sharing buddy!
This is a fun one, I sure do appreciate you being here! :)
They are great bits!
They really are! :)
I got an emerald. Drilled it for the 6mm too. Little tricky, but got it done. Happy smokes!
Several have said they did that and love it! Very cool
Love this cob pipe, need to get an emerald. Cheers!
Yes you do! :) Cheers!
Love the videos!! will you be at the greater kc pipe show in sept?
Thank you! I wish I could but I already have a commitment that weekend. I bet it will be nice!

All out of tobacco at the moment, so I can't smoke with you but once I get some new stuff I'll be able to re-enjoy this video with my cob. Cheers
Yes, that’ll be great! :)
Reminds me of the country gentleman cob. Well except for the stem

Well that news makes these pipes even more attractive since they already come with the stem, doesn’t it

That is a matter of great debate and personal preference. I personally don’t use filters. You’ll have to try it both ways and see what you prefer :)

Thank you! :)
I have the same cob, went to MM store in Washington MO on Father's Day this year, my sons purchased it for me, I love the cobs and the way they smoke.
That’s so cool, Kent! What a special day and a great keepsake to remember the time!
I really have to get a cob one of these days. I just seem to never pull the trigger on one.
No cobs?! Oh ya gotta have some cobs in your arsenal…they are especially fun with those codger blends, aromatics and lakelands :)
