Greetings fellow Brown Leaf members! Brandon (brandaves) and I thought it would be a great idea to have an end of the year Corn Cob Modification Contest. The idea is for folks to color, stain, sand, deconstruct and/or reassemble a corn cob pipe into something more aesthetically appealing and useful. The sky is the limit when it comes to doing a cob modification. In the end though, the pipe should appeal to you for your enjoyment.
Particulars for this contest:
1) Although not required, it is HIGHLY recommended; a new corn cob pipe be used whether its purchased from Missouri Meerschaum, Old Dominion, or cob blanks from Vermont Freehand. New pipes can also be purchased from Aristocob, Smoking Pipes, and Pipes and Cigars.
2) A selfie of you smoking the finished and modified cob pipe.
3) A creative mind.
4) Have fun doing this!
This contest run will run from now until December 1st. A poll will be created so members of the Brown Leaf can vote on their favorite modified cob pipe. The winner will receive a tin of tobacco from the contest organizers. All participants will receive a small sample of tobacco so we all can do an online Zoom Herf later in December. To receive any tobacco, you MUST have a Brown Leaf badge or access to the Brown Leaf Stock Exchange. Please post here or PM either myself or Brandon for any questions you may have. Also, post on the thread itself any progress images you have of your modification. I hope everyone has a great time doing their modification.
