I'm not a fan. Actually, I need to take sand paper to it to reduce the width from air craft carrier to PT Boat.
I wish their size options in the tapered lucite's were other than 3 1/4", which for me is way too long. I got one to try and it sits in a drawer. It looked ridiculous on the pipe I wanted it for.
I prefer 2 3/4" or less, but I didn't want vulcanite and don't like the style of their 2 3/4" lucite "spear" style. But then, while I like the "Regal" style, they're all 3". So for my preferences, they don't offer what I'm looking for, which is a common 2 3/4" acrylic stem in various colors and styles.

I bought my Forever stems, four of them, before new management took charge, but I think it is generally the same product and service. I like mine. I don't consider cobs cheapo or disposable, so more permanent stems were an easy decision. Mine fit nicely and feel great. I had one cut to specifications, a little shorter than the length offered. They look classy and make the already pleasing cobs all-the-way satisfying.
Missouri Meerschaum sells a few cobs with good acrylic stems, the Dagner poker, C&D Charlie Townes, and the freehand, among others. With these you get the acrylic stems as stock, and this saves the retrofit. You don't get the orange swirl stem, but the C&D pipe does have an impressive dark red stem.
