Thanks my‘ol Viking piper 😄😊 Do you mean Trout Bait Holder pipe or…To Be Honest…a corn cob pipe 😄 Glad you like custard too…its one reason I miss England sometimes 😋😉
Thank you Yusef my‘ol mate 😊 The weather is the same in Switzerland…maybe because we are in the same time zone 😄😉 Glad that you liked the corn cobs! 😊👍👍
As both a briar guy, and a cob guy, I smoke my cobs more often. I do not know why. But the Country Gent is a staple. And I bring all other cobs in and out as my mood requires. I agree with your sentiments entirely.
Thanks for joining me on this video 😊👍👍 …I am a bit of collector…its true…but over time…I smoke most of them. I keep a handful of briars and cobs as gifts for friends and relatives who want to try pipe smoking. Most of my pipes are lightly smoked though…as I have quite a few…but…variety…is the spice of life…for me and pipe smoking 😄😊😉💨💨💨
@@RedcoatsReturn well I am only 11 months in on this pipe smoking journey and own about 22 pipes which I rotate through each day. I still have a lot to learn, not sure why some pipes smoke different cuts better, or on different days. I still can't pick out flavors as many of mine are aromatic blends. I am learning youtube and editing as well. Glad I found your channel, it's a pleasure to see your journey of which you share.
Hola Lester, an excellent addition to your collection. Exceptional pieces among them that I like very much and that I have never seen before. It makes your fingers itch..😅. Very good idea with the Zippo👌🏻 Best wishes from the 🌞🏝. Michael
Hi Michael my friend 😊 I know that…itch feeling…I gave two of those pipes to friends after a dinner party….but now…I feel the itch again 😲😄😄😁 I hope MM goes fir a Zippo with their logo….they’ll sell out in no time 😄😉
Well done Bob 😄👍👍 Can’t go wrong with Sillem’s Black in any pipe…I smoke my cobs in warmer summer months mostly 🌞😊 Today there’s a great choice of different cobs…which makes it even more fun 😄😉💨💨💨
Really enjoyed this video Lester! My favorite cob is also the Country Gentleman. I saw a few other's you displayed that I may have to get my hands on. Have a great weekend!-Don
Thats true Ethan…I had the same impression…many more models now and more frequently new ones from MM 😄 I’m fond of cobs because of Huckleberry Finn and “Southern” thing 😊 They remind me of hot summers, fishing and my rocking chair with lemonade and banjo music 😄😄😉 🌞🌽
@Redcoat‘s Return the c&d ones are on the wishlist....I smoke my collection nearly every other day but only 1 or 2 bowls, they're great at moisture absorption, hate the break in though! I'm trying to like aromatics, only a few have made it across to the briars though.
Thank you Juergen my friend 😊👍👍 Did you know…there’s a 9mm cob made in Germany perfectly from a MM Country Gentleman…😊😉 www.german.us/en/138-handmade-9mm-bits
I soo agree with you my‘ol mate 😊👍👍 Forever stems are beautiful, easy to drill for 6mm as an option and add the cooling of the smoke and the stylish look of a cob too 😄😉💨💨💨
A Dremel drill, a brass wood drills 3-6mm p, a vice to hold the stem is enough. There are several videos to help….my one…is here…. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QtbM-NMgupQ.htmlsi=jDFKkBbrp3Tq75Aq
The cob you choose to smoke is a very nice looking pipe. I prefer the " Neked " cobs. I get my cobs from Aristacob. And I agree, Corn Bread is delicious !!
I appreciate you sharing Lester. Som great examples of cob offerings. I drill mine out as well. I've only done 2 so far. I'm definitely ready for warm cob smoking weather. Enjoy your sips and tobacco my friend.
Thank you kindly My friend 😊👍👍 I have now maybe 50 cobs…They’re all works of art…and…enjoy to smoking them too! 😊💨💨💨 You‘re in historic Gettysburg…😲….You know the Cash Town Inn for sure…and the Black Brigardier Gettysburg tobacco as well 😊 Thank you for watching my videos my‘ol mate and commenting as well 😄👍👍😉💨💨💨
I’m honored when you visit my channel 😊 I love your videos, sooo many beautiful places in Scotland to enjoy a pipe and history to learn too 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😉👍👍🏴
Hi there, I just watched your first video and I was impressed with your first video. I've been wanting to do a couple of videos for YTPC myself but don't know when I'll start but you've given me the impetus to try ,nice to meet you, Glenn
Thank you Glen…I was very nervous on my first video…but got used to it and learned to relax…like talking to a friend 😊 Make a video…you are among friends…we would love to see you…and…hear your experiences and thoughts on pipe smoking or anything at all 😄😊😉👍👍
Nice selection of pipes. Bottled in bond means that Whiskey has at least four years of age on it before it's bottled, two years of that on oak. The mash has to be at least 80% corn the balance most probably being barley malt which has excess enzymes to convert the corn starch to sugars. Funnily enough the origins of the word Maize come from a Carribbean native language via Spanish, and like the USA, in Australia, maize can be legally sold as corn. Don't ask me why an Australian would be telling a Swiss Englishman all this trivia, I do have a keen interest in brewing, but all the same, what a strange old world we live in. Always enjoy your posts. All the Best.
That was absolutely COBTASTIC Lester. You research everything so thoroughly. Cheers M’Dears. (I have a Mac Arthur which, like the General, I use mainly for pointing rather than smoking)
Ha haa 😄 Those MacArthurs are huge…apparently…he used it only for show…and smoked…a regular briar normally. Thanks John for looking in and chipping in a comment too! 😊👍👍🌽🌞
I think that cob pipes especially go well with aromatic blends. A while back I heard someone make a comment that in Britain, they call all crops, "corn". (There are also places in the Bible that talk about "corn", which confused me because corn was a new world plant). I eventually learned that in Britain, "corn" is the word for what we call, "grain", and that we are the ones who started to use the word "corn" to refer exclusively to what everybody else calls "maize" Apparently the early colonists started calling maize, Indian corn, meaning, "the corn that the Indians grow" and it stuck.
That could be, I use the term cereal as a generic and maize in Europe and corn in America. Probably, someone made a documentary about that. Anyways…I love corn bread when I visit America…its delicious! 😋 🌽
Thats true JC 😄 Cobs last at least 10 years, I love their Mark Twain, southern, rustic charm and…all the different models out there 😊 Thanks for watching and commenting my’ol JC 😉
Hey there, brother! Great cob collection! It puts mine to great shame. Lol I only have four and only one of them is unsmoked. Cobs are the only pipes I will use a filter. The Savinelli charcoal 6mm filters are preferred over medico or grabow. Great presentation! God bless! 🙏
I totally agree my friend 😊 The new 6mm charcoal filters from savinelli are the best for cobs 😊 Don’t worry, your collection of cobs will grow, they are great value and so many different models are available today 😄😉🌽👍👍
Great Cob pipe collection!! They are all beautiful pipes!! Never heard of that Bland of Bourbon. I'm going to look for it. Thanks for sharing.........Jose from Texas
Its good to have a rest or even a sabatiacal pause. Life has its demands too…but…we can restart anytime…I certainly miss your videos…I bought the same smoking T-shirt on your tip…I’ll wear it on my next video…in your honour 😄😉👍👍🏴
Great cob collection! Love the one you're puffing. I was at the MM factory awhile back, as I don't live far from there. I purchased some Long John and Peaches and Cream while I was there. I recommend them both. However I do tend to lean toward the aromatic stuff. Great video, go easy on the likker'.....
Thanks my’ol Hoot 😄😉 That bottle lasted a year…so…I’m not in danger….yet 😄😄 As I love aromatics…I’ll check the Peaches&Cream…which is the only one I haven’t tried sofar 😉🌽
Nice! Recently added 2 more cobs (Danger Custom Tank & JWK 2366 Tank - both nose warmers) [Side note: they were on sale otherwise I would have never nabbed them....crazy expensive on their own] so far no smoke through either but I'm certain they will do me right by all the Lakelands. Nice job making those 6mm filter when able...might follow suit but currently working on a Thor Block (trynna get a decent billiard outta the cube....fun times!!) Cheers!
Its great to collect unusual cobs….well done Sam😊 I like a 6mm filter, especially the new Savinelli long filters. Its worth a drill…you only need a 7mm deep cup to hold the filter…and space in the shank. Those little Dremel drills are enough to do the work 😄😊😉
Hiyas Lester mate, A very nice group of cobs to add to your collection. Do you leave the stem base in the chamber? I prefer cutting that stem base out and filling the void with pipe mud. I hate the taste of burning stem. Cane Rod Piper has a terrific video on how he removes the stem and replaces it with pipe mud. Pipe On ✓ ol' mate, Gary
I haven’t tried that…but…I sacrifice the last 10% of the tobacco to the Gods…and don’t notice too much the stem char smoke. My oldest cob has nearly no stem protrusion in the bowl. However, I’ll try it one day…to compare…and for the fun if it too 😄😊👍👍
I bought a 9mm cob from GermanUS a few months back thanks to Paladin Piper's recommendation. The bottom of the bowl has the Missouri Meerschaum label, so I'm assuming they modded it. Not cheap, but it's a nice pipe, and my only 9mm cob. Kind of strange that it was made in Missouri, modded in Germany, and shipped back to the US. 😀 PS, I love corn bread! With beans of course. 😁
I‘ve got that 9mm GermanUS country gentleman cob too. I wish MM would make more 9mm cobs but with the new Savinelli 6mm filters, almost as good as 9mm 😊👍👍 I‘ll have to bake some corn bread myself 😋😄
@@bottleneckpiper Oh, you're right! But the fact that it's sold out means that it must be really popular. That should provide MM with an incentive to make more of them :D
Very nice collection Lester. I’ve tried and tried to enjoy them but I don’t like them or the looks of them. They just don’t fit my style. I did enjoy this video nonetheless my ole’ boyo!
Until you were kind enough to send me a cob pipe - video coming soon!- it never occurred to me that they were really made from cobs: I thought it was just the name of the design. Do they impart any flavour when you smoke them?
My dear Miss Worm 🥰 Some say that they burn out quicker than briar wood pipes but its proven that a corn cob pipe lasts at least 10 years even if you smoke it regularly. That means the taste of the tobacco is not influenced much by the char of the corn cob walls. I can testify, that…I can’t taste anything but the tobacco…if one smokes it slowly…one bowl of tobacco…over an hour. Thats why…even today…they are popular and still made by the Missouri Meerschaum Company in the U.S.A. 😉🌽
