what is your latest pipe purchase

Another grab bag of cobs. One Great Dane, four Huck Finns, four Legends, and one that appears to be a unfinished Shire Cobbit bowl that didn't make the cut and was fitted with a standard black stem.

That sounds like an impressive bag! Congrats!


I have to say that for my first grab bag (i.e. Smokable Seconds), I was a little disappointed. I wish I wasn't...heck, what I got was still a great deal/value. I guess I'm being selfish...no, I know I am. But, after looking at mine a little closer: I ended up with two Diplomat's, however both of them have a serious crack making them unsmokable. One of the 3 Legends is unsmokable with it's own crack down the side and add to that, the one with the broken bit (which I can easily replace)...I guess I just expected 10 "Smokable Seconds". I ended up with 7, once I swapped out the bit.

OK, I'm off my soapbox/I feel sorry for myself/looser chair! LOL!

This was my second grab bag and I've yet to get anything unsmokable. All had what I would call minor imperfections, some difficult to find, but all perfectly functional. Did you contact MM about the damaged pipes?

I get that these are seconds, and I could care less about the imperfections, etc...gives them character! And, I absolutely love my MM Country Gentleman's. But the cracks on the three just took me back a bit.

After I wrote what I wrote previously...I stopped crying like a little baby and figured I'd just email them and let them know. For all I know, it was a shipping issue, they could have just been handled roughly.

So, I emailed them...neither expecting nor wanting anything in return, other than to make them aware. I'll post up if I hear back...but either way, I'm good. It was still a great value and I still...LOVE MM's.

Thank you Warren!

Where would one acquire said grab bag of cobs?

No matter what I said before and after you...they are still a great deal and it seems my issue was a one time thing...FYI.

I had a stem issue with a cob I bought in a store. Emailed them and they sent me out a new one. Good company to deal with.
