The "Deluxe-Plus" version has the "toiletries" .. on a stick, and by the way, the red and white version explaination is right on.
 
I gotta ask... Will the corn cobbs actually take a spark from flint amd steel, seriously ? :hmm:
Or are you processing it down for the fire making ??

Never heard of using it before.. The corn husks, yes but never the corn cobbs..
 
The cobs were used as packing for the wine. Swampy made a corn cob pipe with one of the red cobs. Cobs do make a good fire once you have the flame already going tho.
 
Yep just messin round I made a usable pipe, darn thing works great but its on the smallish side. :thumbsup:
