Hey all, anyone ever modify or customize a corn cob? Been thinking taking a stab at it myself, but wanted to see if anyone has done it and what they've done. Thanks!

I remember one summer when I was about 12 or 13, my younger brother and I decided to make our own corncob pipes. We saved a corncob after dinner one night, dried it out in the sun for a few days and cut it in half so we each had one. We found some tree branches and, cut them to size and hollowed them out. About a week or two later, we hollowed out our corncob pieces after cutting them down to size. After we inserted our stems into the cob, we lit up some corn silk we set aside. Was not a bad little smoker, though it took some time to find some actual tobacco to smoke. By then, my father quit smoking a pipe and there was not tobacco readily at hand.
No longer have that little pipe, my brother does not smoke pipes, only cigars. Had some good memories of that summer making those pipes as a kid. We got that idea of making our own corncob pipes after reading The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
OOOO~~~ I got promoted to Apprentice!

An introduction to corn cob pipes including a look at a few popular shapes and an overview of pipe construction. I also outline the plan for the next 3 videos in this series: 1) Tobacco chamber modification, 2) Ebonite replacement stems, and 3) A complete modification of a pipe for CobfooleryLinks: Missouri Meerschaum: http://corncobpipe.com/
