>>1069173>tries to ritz everybody about not having a REAL pipe >posts one made of briar insteadThis is why you fail.
But to answer your question about why cobs are preferred:
>smokes much better>smokes much cooler>doesn't gurgle>doesn't hold a ghost, unlike briar>very neutrally flavored, unlike briar>available literally everywhere >very /out/ tolerant and easy to live with-if one goes swimming by accident, just let it dry out in the sun and no harm done>all at 1/10 the price of a brand name briar pipe, and 1/5 the price of a no name second with finish problems I could go on, but you get the idea.
