I knew the day would come and now its too late - I am into the weird world of Cobfoolery!  The first try is not exactly like I hoped it would be but nevertheless promising. More is to come I am afraid....   |

Yup, Frank you really stepped in it. The next thing you will be making all kinds of mod on your Cobs.
Frank FYI if you are on Facebook there is a group for Cobs Called Corn Cob Nation. There are a bunch of guys in Germany with their own chapter.
I want to mod a couple of Cobs after I find an attachment for my wood lathe.
Good smokes

Thank you John! I was on Facebook for quite a while but got bored. Now I am not any longer inclined to participate in the "Zuckerberg-mind-controlling-machine" any longer. But AFAIK there are some websites about modifying cobs in the net. I am currently thinking about what I could try next. There are a few forever stems on the way too...  |

Well done, Frank. Just remember that you are entering a whole new world. Once word gets around that yo have crossed into Cobville they will take your soul.

I am a fool for my Missouri Meerschaum cobs from my MM freehand corncob,to my maple & cherry mini Mt. Ozarks ,to my maple MM Country Gentlemen, I have not customized them other than occasionally swapping stems. But I am looking for ideas of my dream cobfools . At the moment I am pretty occupied with my Falcons.
PS, as a radio ham , I am into the purefool art of arcane QRP, low power & minimalism ,in a modest way, similarly my cobfoolery is QRP !

lovely! i have been considering getting a Mark Twain and putting a white pearlized stem on it and making it my birthday pipe
That's exactly what I did. I have a Mark Twain with a white stem that I reserve for things like Condor and Ennerdale. I have 2 more Twains that I put black ebonite stems on for my "normal" tobacco. |

I joined the group back when I started up The Patch. Primary motivation was to spread the word about this place. I'm still a member there but don't participate. The Facebook groups don't have the same sense of community to me that a forum does.
Just my two cents.

I agree, but the CCN group seems to be on par with this group, not as intimate, but still friendly and inclusive, and the POTY is awesome! I also like the pinpoint focus on cobs. It certainly won't draw me away from here, this will always be home, but it's a nice companion group.

I will read posts over at CCN occasionally, but this is my pipe home. I do belong to a rockhound group on
FB that is awesome. Very active and supportive.
