PIPE STORY | Missouri Meerschaum Cornell & Diehl Charles Towne Cobbler - Corn Cob Pipe
One of our local tobacconists recommended this to me last week, and to be honest, I snubbed it for a tin of Peterson Sherlock Holmes, not mad about it because I enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes, but today I picked a pouch up after watching this review and I gotta say my personal review, honestly I loved it lol saw it did have mixed reviews but I suppose I fall into the category of those who enjoy this blend!
Smoking Captain Peg n Gold, a local blend similar to Lane 1Q, in a Peterson 307 System. I struggle tasting all the flavors, but I’m working on it.
This video should help you over time , hopefully! :)
I thought I invented the scissor method😂
Ha! Definitely not :)
I thought I knew it all! Thanks for that informative insight.
Glad it was helpful!
Just got some in the mail today I’ll chime back in and let everyone know what I think!!
Cool!
@@hobbitonpiper ok here we go haha. This one’s a banger for sure. Sharp in taste, yet mellow enough to enjoy. I absolutely get peppercorn and chocolate. I FEEL YOU on that retrohale haha SHARP, but again very enjoyable if it’s not too big/deep. The aftertaste is pleasant, very much tasting hazelnut or perhaps… walnut? Soft yet, aggressive at the same time. It’s almost like a My Mixture 965 without the Latakia and instead perique? Definitely “dark” but also very very relaxing. If that makes sense. All in all my first bowl/experience with this blend is an 8/10. Love it and will enjoy it for many bowls to come! Thanks for your awesome review my brother! 💨💨💨 Edit: smoking out of my Peterson Donegal Rocky 85 😎
After Covid, I can’t taste and smell the same. I just recently started pipe smoking. I have this blend, but all I get is the smokiness and the (I guess) incense oriental taste. It almost reminds me of a nice laundry detergent smell (but taste) to me. Sounds weird, but it’s nice. I am worried I’ll never get to taste what it was meant to taste like. :(
I hope your senses improve over time!
@@hobbitonpiper thanks me too. And thanks for your content and warm welcomes from Tennessee. :)
Can you review Sutliff Molto Dulce? Heard a lot of good things but haven't tried it yet and haven't noticed it in your reviews. Thank you for the awesome content though, I really enjoy smoking with you :)
I’m out at the moment but it’s quite sweet!
35 years italian smoker and pipe collector. Tested all three, some flakes are better with one way, some with others but my preferres is the third one. I also have seen little strips, all flake long, interwinted and lightly pressed...thank you.❤
The third method is my favorite as well!
Kevin. I thought you were late 30s early 40s! Ageing like a fine tobacco my friend.
Thank you, I hope so! :)
Great put together review!👌 It's been a while.... But... I'm trying to deside on a purchase... so I'll use your own taste perspective.. Your stuck on deserted island 🏝 for 1 year.. and can only have one Tobacco - Carter Hall or - Prince Albert Which might you choose ?
PA every time.
This is truly magnificent. Beautiful images, prose and music. Thank you!
Many thanks!
Bob Ross of pipe smoking 😂 .. really enjoy your videos!
That’s a high compliment, thank you!
MOTU fan here also. ❤️
Love MOTU!

I smoked a bowl of 4th generation no. 403 superior round flake, Virginia/ dark Kentucky Out of my Dagner cwa swamp green. I enjoyed this video. Thank you brother
So glad you enjoyed!
That's just too neat 👍🏼👍🏼
It really is!
This video reminds me of the US version of Malcolm Guite here on YT lol. Your attire matches the pics behind you.
I too noticed I matched the decor after I recorded it! :)
I just wanna ask.. My pipe bowl gets too hot to touch..I intake too fast perhaps. What should be waiting time between two puffs?? Plz help.. I'm new to Pipe Smoking

You enjoy the topping on this one?
I really need to get into more of the common old blends. The only one available at my local shop/lounge is Prince Albert. It’s been on regular rotation for years, but I enjoy it thoroughly and it’s past time that I tried another codger burley blend.
I agree! Here’s some great options to get you started: ruclips.net/video/e9n9FtX6in8/видео.htmlsi=PerJFKKmjmRW8JU2 ruclips.net/video/viZ3zw_LKEg/видео.htmlsi=CCE_xquiAyEvlium
I really want to try some Sunbear this year! Looking forward to the release this year! Hoping they continue it this year again, and smoking some Peterson’s Sherlock Holmes in my trusty Elf Cobbit
I hope they do too!!
Hey buddy. Your last part on this video about being alone - well - it's something I needed to hear. That is all I will say on that. I really enjoy the Smoke With Me series, it helps. You are articulate and easy to listen to. You the man.
Glad I could help! Relax and enjoy :)
W.O. Larson Signature in a rusticated Medico half bent. Love the videos. Just started my pipe journey about 4 or 5 months ago. I've been a cigar smoker for over 30 years. Gave this a try so my wife would sit with me in the evening and I wouldn't offend her nose.
There are some great “room notes” with pipe blends!
Hey Kevin. I tried pipe tobacco about 10 years ago, liked the flavor but didn't UNDERSTAND it. So after only smoking a bowl a few times, I tossed everything. I don't even remember the tobacco I had but I remember it being an aromatic. I kick myself because I didn't know it would last forever! Anyway, I listened to all of the LOTR and The Hobbit audiobooks, then watched each of the movies after each book. It reminded me of the existence of pipe smoking. I am a nicotine enjoyer (I used to smoke cigs, used to vape, started nicotine pouches a year ago and sticking with those). I got into cigars last year and I like them, but I find many taste the same and there are only a few I truly like. After going through Tolkien's work and the films, I decided to UNDERSTAND pipe smoking. Thanks to Muttnchop and you, I now understand. I have been pipe smoking for 3 weeks now and really getting it. Just wanted to tell you a little story. :) * currently smoking Capt Black Platinum out of a $35 Crown Castle 1004 briar pipe lol. One day I hope to have a collection like you and Mr. Muttn! I am not sure of the strongest tobacco I have had, probably from a cigar. But I have not felt a nic-hit in a long time, so it made me curious about Rustica.
Based on your comment, I think you’ll enjoy this video as well!: ruclips.net/video/c4Lj1YlUo14/видео.htmlsi=TBZeVN9IhQt7wl-x
@@hobbitonpiper you are right, I will enjoy that video. But, I enjoy all of your videos. :)
Thanks for a fantastic video! Demonstrating, contrasting and comparing all 3 methods in the same video, side by side is brilliant and helpful. I'm a fan of rather frequent tamping as i smoke a bowl down to refuce relights. I found that it's easy to "over-tamp" (add THAT to the lexicon) when using the cube or especially the fold and stuff method. The 1st time I used that method, I ended up having loosen up the tobacco with the pick on my Czech tool. Sice then, I've gotten the feel for it and really enjoy the fold and stuff method. With coins, as well! Thanks for the informative video. Really enjoyed it!
You’re very welcome! Yeah don’t worry about relights, at all. If it goes out, just relight. Not a big deal. Never fight with it to keep it lit.
Sorry if you said it in the video, i didn't catch it if you did, but would this be a good one to use for cobs as well or is this mainly just for briar pipes?
This is mainly for stems and shanks, so it works just fine on cobs as well
@hobbitonpiper thanks for the info! I had already gone out and gotten some Ole Smokey Blue Flame, so it would still be a corn based alcohol and a little less alcohol content, it worked amazing!
Had my first bowl today and really enjoyed it. Thank you for your recommendation and your videos, watched nearly all of them. 😆
Thank you for watching the catalog of content here!
Love your videos! Thanks for the great content! Enjoy watching these as someone who has just gotten into pipe smoking in the last year.
You’re very welcome! Enjoy the journey!
Any chance of dropping the name of the tobacco smoked on set of LOTR? I can’t seemed to find it. Sorry for the bother. Just excited to try it. Also… love this pipe. So happy for you and hope you’ve enjoyed it over the years. Might have to look into those dudes.
Sure, here’s all the details!: ruclips.net/video/yyF-hciU-dE/видео.htmlsi=Gw4O9yXIh2FbGmwl
That floral note is found in three of the burley blends I've tried for LJ Peretti. I kinda dig it 🤷🏼♂️
Me too!! :)
I’m smoking Chesterton & Co. Cigars House Blend out of a Dr. Grabow.
Very nice, it’s good to have you here today!
Got a tin of this thanks to your recommendation and I am absolutely in love with it! It's turning into an every day smoke for me and it has been my companion through a re-read of The Silmarillion!
Glad you enjoy it! That’s awesome :)
Love your ring of Barahir!
Good eye! :)
Just picked up my first Cob and it is the Shire Cobbit. I absolutely LOVE this pipe!
Good choice!
Nice I smoke my MM Cobbit elf alot myself, and gorgeous Sav btw
I love the Cobbit series, Tyler, as you can see here!: ruclips.net/video/j7otzhIZUPs/видео.htmlsi=ARqgSErNTb8FxBs5
Great video, Kevin! Have you seen the trailer for Weta’s new game Tales of the Shire? Hoping our favorite leaf makes an appearance!
I have! I hope so too but I wouldn’t hold my breath lol
Mine is Peter Stokkebye Balkan Supreme. Bought five pounds 13 years ago and is smoking incredibly well today!
Excellent! :)
I'm going to need to know what cap(s) you are wearing in all your videos as I would like to purchase some of them for myself
They are mostly just caps I find in local clothing stores (I currently don’t order caps online because I like to see how they fit first). One of the ones I wear most often is a Levi’s.
Are you familiar with seder craft pipes. Google them they make great pipes. Would like to see you do a review on one
No I am not familiar with them, I’ll have to look them up
Great video Sir
Thank you!
This morning I did something I never do. After enjoying a bowl of Borkum Riff Black Cavendish in my Baraccini Mare Blu 673, I decided to watch this video. Being a fan of Half and Half, I figured I'd loosely fill a bowl of it in my Missouri Meerschaum Dwarf Cobbit just to accompany this video. What an enjoyable experience. Whoever said it's not good to smoke two different blends/pipes back-to-back? Thanks for your most enjoyable content. Cheers!
I’m so glad you enjoyed!!
Thank you for this. I have long been revolted by Tolkien, especially the movies. However, you have brought to light an aspect that I was not aware of and might, as a pipe-smoker, be able to enjoy. Perhaps I'll take a second look.
You definitely should!
Congratulations on 11k subscribers!!!
Thank you so much!
I literally lived in Russellville, AR just a few years ago. If only I knew how close you were, I would've came to you to learn more about piping. :) Blessings to you sir! - J
I’ve driven through there many times! :)
Greetings from Denmark, i have a question for you. Hope you can help. I have 4 savinelli 673 and I am thinking of using only 1 of them for aromatic tobacco. Do you have experince with aromatics in the 673? Best regards Marc
Sure, the 673 is great for anything! Be sure to see my video on How To Season A Pipe (How To playlist)

Hello my Name is John and i come from Sweden. I just want some Tips for were i can get some pipe tibacco in EU. Tanx
You’ll need to check your local shops and EU online sites, I’m not sure unfortunately
Kevin I love listening to your reviews! You talked me into ordering this Bob's chocolate flake. . I've found a replacement on my list of faves for EMP. Been into Sam Gawith Skiff mixture for a week and it is a really interesting oriental forward english balkan that is very similar in some ways to my absolute fave Presbyterian mixture, but not the same for sure and that might be some of this lakeland essence you speak of here. Do you know the blend, does it have this to any extent? I can't seem to pick up on that part of it very much, maybe its just very lightly present. Also of note, you have made me think that after almost 45 years of dabbling in pipes that I needed to try a cob. Never have had one. So dove right in there and got a Dune Cobbit Shire. What a surprise my friend I'm amazed and Tombigbee is excellent in that pipe! As is every aromatic I've thrown at it.
That Dune Shire Cobbit is cool isn’t it! No I’m unfortunately not familiar with the Skiff mixture you mentioned
Do you remember what seller you bought these from?
No I do not, it was just an eBay search. Your mileage may vary :)
Deer tongue is probably what you smell and taste. Try Cornell and Diehl Crooner and you'll get similar notes
