Corn cob pipes?

Post by CTMachinist »

I just moved recently (two months ago) and unpacked my pipe for a smoke.

I've only smoked cheap corn cob pipes before, and I'm looking for a few more. I can't find any at the tobacconist here in town, nor at either of the pharmacies. Where else can I look to buy them? I'm a bit hesitant to buy anything online, even if it is just a corn cob pipe!

The CVSs near you don't carry them anymore? Wow. It's been a while, but the CVS and Walgreens around here used to carry a good selection of cobs, pouch tobacco, and even a handful of Dr Grabows. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that some corporate suitly-type put the kabosh on that - to protect the children, of course.

I'll have to check that out today when I run out to get some NPT fittings.

Perhaps I missed them, but I saw cigars, cigarets, pouches of tobacco for pipes, even rolling machines, but not one pipe. I'll call and ask today.

Try dealing with Missouri Meerschaum directly. They have a website you can purchase from, but you can also order directly by phone. :thumb:

I got suckered into buying those(or suckered myself into it)! You get what you pay for! The pic suggests these are missouri meer, but the ones I got weren't. They are cheap imitation of the real deal. The airway is at least 3/8" above the bottom of the cob. Lots of wasted tobacco! IMO better to pay a little more and buy from missouri meer or http://www.frenchyspipes.com

I've ordered several corncobs online from Mars Cigars & Pipes. They are cheap and fast with the shipping.

Damn, I'm getting old. I remember when those things cost a buck apiece. Image
