I always like the rockcob as a concept. Did you get tired of making them? Maybe you saturated the rockcob market?

I don’t think I can trust the glue that’s holding that shank in or else I would pack it deep and go to town. Like a car with a one gallon gas tank. :lol:

They are smokable, you might want to clear the stems airway of any plastic burrs. Weakest point on those is the pithy bottom. I like to put an Oak plug in them and fit a Vulcanite stem, same preference with all my cobs.
