[QUOTE="Lees, post: 61350, member: 729"] Hi Joseph and all, I stand corrected, No cake, but I do follow the rule of caramelizing the inside or charring with several quick burning tobaccos, as it helps seal the inside of the bowl against smelling that burning cob smell that I don't like. And why Yeko suggests charring the rim, I have no idea, but Carlos is right in that the rim and outside of a cob is either coated in shellac or varnish. Since the cob can be somewhat like Meerschaum, in that it is porous, it tends to pull in this shellac smell as it heats it up, more so the area of the rim closest to you, as you can see on the pipe above the Post a Reply area, Brothers of Briar logo. I usually find the inside of a new cob a bit too small (walls too thick, hole too narrow), so I take my pocket knife and ream it out carefully, then repeat with the several bowls of quick burning pipe tobacco to recarmelize it. I do keep the insides of my Cobs clean, and they'll last you several years doing this. Thanks for the feedback! Lisa Marie [/QUOTE]
