Finally got a corn cob pipe, not the highest grade from MM but the taste its great plus no breaking in needed too... it only cost me around RM55-RM68 each for this 2nd grade pipes of different sizes (got it directly from the States (NOT CHINA), any1who is looking for corn cob pipe can PM me, still have like 6 new pipes...LOL) 

[its ranked 2nd grade due to the surface defect like a small scratch or chip or one tiny hole on the corn cob surface (something like that)... but it does not affect the taste & the air ventilation from the cob does help the cooling & drying of the pipe...need not say anymore as to me its great to be holding & smoking some finally!!!]

So far, had one pipe just dedicated for Peterson blue sapphire; also dedicated another for MacBaren's Vanilla & its range.
Im still all excited with my corn cobs & will try with MacBaren Cube later today after work...

ALso, read from the above that someone RYO with pipe tobacco...i do RYO ciggs using pipe tobacco most of the time as i can't really smoke my pipe in doors & it does goes off like its happens with pipe (occasionally) if you leave it non-smoke for sometime... "just my 2cents"

p/s: im not doing any pipe selling business but since i have some extra & if there are any1 who are interested, why not as its difficult to get genuine corn cobs pipes (not those from China) around in M'sia...LOL

well, you're out of luck i guess. i bought a pretty cool looking one last year for 70. smoked really nice and fits nicely as well. pipes are subjective anyway. one man's pipe may not accommodate another. 

price wise, pipes are like wines. making it is an art. so obviously even the cheap ones are not that cheap. "cheap" here means at least with acceptable workmanship. not those lousy cheap plastic ones. happy hunting.
