Also, am I correct in assuming that much like a cigar, unattended pipe tobacco will burn out on it's own, leaving the unattended pipe safe and thus not risking catching anything on fire?

Me? A day or two but I rarely leave an unfinished bowl. Each time I find one unfinished (usually in the truck) a day later it always blows my mind how good it tastes.

Pipes mostly go out in 5-10 minutes on their own. I make no claims and bear no liability on whether or not a pipe can catch anything on fire except your tongue.

Seriously, to the point, cobs are very good smoking pipes for novice and expert but, for beginners, they provide fewer problems than briar and in case of disaster you're only out $4.00.
