NOTES:
A nice pipe to have a couple of at your disposal if you like to share piping with potential new pipers. Tell 'em to keep it. Five bucks or so. Except those cheapie big box store skateboards are nearly impossible to learn on. Their wheels barely spin and never at the same speed as each-other, among other issues.
Among other issues. The bit in this one loves to see its flow clogged. Why'd they shape the thing that way? And the narrow-deep chamber kinda jams right down into that almost inevitable bottle-neck of a draft. The shape actually works well to keep the smoke cool and protect the sans hardwood plug bottom.
The danger here isn't that I'll start handing these out as some roving pipe ambassador, nor is it that I'll use this thing for a quick smoke with any regularity. The threat is that I keep accumulating inexpensive serviceable cobs such as this and begin making modifications. The slippery slope to Rat Cobs. I think I'm in.
