Corncob pipes are wonderful to smoke from. I have found that the first two bowls are a little strange (I think it has to do with the finish) but after that they smoke nice and cool. In particular, I love the Country Gentlemen pipe from MM. I find the bowl size to be quite nice and love the dark color. I also enjoyed my MacArthur. The other pipes I find okay, but I am not a fan of the smaller bowls.
You might want to read both my Corncob Primer and my Buyers Guide.

I use Missouri Meerschaum corb cob pipes for my aromatic blends. They work wonders with a lot of blends but I find that aromatics really sing in a cob since it breathes so well. Never a gurgle.
Cob of choice from MM is the Missouri Pride pipes. At $2.50 or so per pipe I plan to stock up on these, and cheapo pipe nails, so I can hand em out to cig smokers hoping to bring them to the dark side. :

I love my cobs. They take abuse well and keep coming back for more. If you smoke while you work, get a cob. If you want something to smoke while you're letting your other pipe cool, get a cob. If you're clumsy (like me), get a cob. I have 5 MM Country Gents.
I resisted corncob pipes for years! Only smoked briar pipes until a few months ago I purchased a Missouri Meerschaum Co. Corn Cob Pipe Straight “Diplomat." I love it! Wish I would have given corncobs ago years earlier. I find them to be great warm weather smokes. For the price you simply can't go wrong. :puffpipe:
Love my cobs, I prefer "The General" feels great in my hands, nice large bowel and the stem is more substantial than in other models (danish). With the normal stems featured on pipes like the Country Gentleman, I bite all the way through them within two months. With The General, I have been using the same stem for a half year or so and it shows very little signs of wear, no deep tooth marks. I would have already gone though 3 of the normal stems in that time and I only smoke a couple days a week, that's how sad they are.
Pretty much can't go wrong with the cob... Check out this thread i started, and the link in the first post!!!

Love my cobs. I'm not crazy about the basic MM cob but love the Country Gent. Have a few with Forever Stems and they are great smokers. Strongly recommend the Forever Stem.
