[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 195286, member: 1690"] In my experience, you can eventually make a cob turn sour if you really do nothing but smoke it continually for several weeks. It's porous and absorbent, so that's about what one might expect. It can be smoked to the point of sogginess. But who does that? Mark Twain?--who I believe bought them by the dozen? Ordinary care, barring loss or physical trauma, seems to make them last forever. I have a Country Gentleman that's about ten years old and still smokes very well every day--it's my nightcap pipe, as a matter of fact. I have no reason to toss it, and am even thinking of getting a Forever Stem for it at Walker Briar Works. [/QUOTE]
