These are the other 3 I have: a Pot O' Gold Bent, a POG Straight as well as an Elf Cobbit. The photo sucks but at least, there's one.

I received the replacement Old Dominion cob Saturday. It was just as blocked, no draw whatsoever, as the first that I sent back. I emailed tobaccopipes and asked for a return label and my money back. I could have removed the stem, and figured out the blockage, but I shouldn't have to. C'est la vie.

Take a blocked stem with a hunk of tobacco stuck in it and that’s what I had. I tried a wire hanger, no luck. I guess modern craftsmen aren’t as smart as the old timers. Adios reed stemmed cob.Wildcat wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 8:55 pm I received the replacement Old Dominion cob Saturday. It was just as blocked, no draw whatsoever, as the first that I sent back.

I stopped buying cobs online/unseen due the the various issues. Even direct from MM is a real pain when there is an issue. I mean , they'll take it back, but the return shipping is on you in top of their already high shipping. Just not worth it for many cobs.Wildcat wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 8:55 pm I received the replacement Old Dominion cob Saturday.

Yeah you'd need a really long drill bit and a lot of luck to drill down a reedKevin Keith wrote: ↑Tue Aug 02, 2022 10:12 amEspecially with reed stems.
