Cob Replacement Stems

drac2485

Does anyone know of companies/individuals that make replacement stems for cobs (Acrylic/Vulcanite)?  I know Old Cabin Pipe Works makes them but they are having supply issues and haven't been making them for a while.

Check out Farmerje on ebay. He does a ot of semi-custom cobs with acrylic stems for $25 delivered. I've ordered quite a few of them and they are really nice pipes. Its basically the cost of a forever stem but you get a semi custom pipe thrown in free. Here is my halloween pipe I purchased from him

@drac2485 His stock changes pretty quickly, I just checked out his store and there inventory was pretty sparse. This anse is pretty cool though.

If they are the same diameter as the MM bits aristocob has a selection of them. The free hand stems are vulcanite. Pipe makers emporium may also have what you are looking for.

@distrib THANKS A TON!!! I'm curious if their Lucite bits that are tapered would easily fit.  I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and find out

Wow, thats a great replacement stem @thewanderingdude!

@thewanderingdude problem is I've been dealing with my doctor and had to see a hand surged yesterday so funds are rather low. Fortunately things are much better, so far, after a few cortisone shots

thewanderingdude

@drac2485 Sorry to hear that, but glad the cortisone is working for you. Hope you heal up quickly sir

No link. Interested in what you found.

@crapgame what's the name of the company?

LoL! You're probably going to pay more for shipping a replacement stem that you would for a new cob.

PipeProfessor

Sorry to hear @drac2485. I hope you continue a speedy recovery!

@daveinlax  I'm looking for the fancy Acrylic stems since I have a tendency to destroy the plastic ones plus I love the way they look on cobs.  I know they'll cost more but at least I can move them from cob to cob as I wear the cobs out.
