How long will a corn cob pipe last?
“As long as you let them dry out every once in a while, they will last for years and years.” Some customers have told him they've smoked the same corn cob pipe for as many as 20 years."

I have one I’ve used for 8 years which I have no intention of ever tossing. And Forever stems aren’t disposable FWIW

these aren't forever stems... they weren't even like 3 month stems...
I tend to hold em in the same spot and my teeth eventually made it through a few stems. Got the rubbers and haven't bit through in many years. I don't think I've bought a new cob for at least 5 years.
But to answer your question, no. Nobody buys estate cobs.
I love my cobs and would never part with them...….they just get better with age.My MM Eggs are my show pieces since they are HTF these days......only the Country Gentleman comes close in providing that much pipe smoking pleasure and they are still obtainable.

Dan forever stems are what cool people used, I just assumed you used them because well....you know.
Rubbers work great.
I have or had a forever stem on a country gentleman. It was in the camper for a few years and now it seems to be missing.

Some like 'em, some don't. I'm not fond of them but it's better for the stem and the teeth.
