I have a MM Country Gent that I have had about 9 months and about a month ago I found the bottom to be getting "soft/soggy". When I first got this pipe I had no real rotation and smoked the hell out of it for quite some time. Finally the bottom gave out so since I really didn't want to tosh the old boy I decided to give him a fix. Went to the hardware store pick up a 3 ft length of 3/4 inch oak round stock, cut about 1/2 inch off it. Drilled a 3/4 hole thru the bottom of the cob and glued in the oak.
Smoking a bowl of Ten to Midnight in it right now and feeling good about saving the Gent.
I did find out a day after I purchased the oak to fix it that MM is now putting the hardwood plug in all new Country Gents. :worship:
