I don't even know the name of it. The six dollar one at Rite-Aid with the bent stem. I got two and love them both! Lightweight and perfect for clenching while doing odd jobs around the yard. Don't think you could go wrong with any of them, IMHO. I should add that I've also got the natural one without the plaster fill. It was three or four bucks at the local B&M. It seems to me that it smokes a bit cooler than the other ones. Maybe just my imagination though.
I personally like the legend I got in my bag-o-seconds, and the legend from the same bag that I refit with a danish straight bit. but the best recommend I can give is the bag-o-seconds. You get ten smoke able pipes and can smoke through them to find out what styles you like or don't, plus it builds up the rotation quickly, and gives you a pocket full of clean pipes for tasting new tobaccos
The Country Gentleman is also my favourite, hands down.
I've got 12 or 13 in rotation.
I agree with flintlockjohn - it has a sizable bowl for long enjoyable smokes and it performs like a champion.
I also like the dark stained finish and the overall rustic appearance. I think it is the best looking MM cob out there.
The corn cob pipe may not be for everybody, but when you find a good one they offer amazing value and performance.

The Country Gent is one of my favorites along with the Patriot and the Washington. All smoke very well and the Patriot looks classy.
Like others here, I like the Country Gentleman best. I like the size of the bowl and the easy draw. The shape appeals to me as well. It is an easy pipe to clench when you're enjoying a bowl while doing other things. They are very forgiving and practically smoke themselves.
My favorite is the bent Spool, because it has a somewhat narrower and taller bowl than other cobs, It's perfect for Mac Baren roll cakes, which are thin slices of mild, flavorful rope blends. I can fit 4-6 coins of Club Blend and get a nice, long smoke.
I'm a big fan of the bent diplomat and bent great dane spool. They're both easy to clench and have a nice chamber capacity and feel good in the hand. Oh and they smoke amazing...
Also, I recently picked up a couple of bent Missouri Prides. This may become my new favorite... small bowl but extremely light and the natural finish (no varnish or w/e they put on them... just natural cob). Seems to smoke even cooler and drier than my Diplomats and Spools.. didn't think it possible!

I like The General, and like to replace the stem with a Forever Stem. None better in my opinion.
(Although I have several different types.)

I have settled on Country Gentleman as a favorite. I keep 3-4 in rotation between the HAM room, the garage/workshop and my truck.
I do replace the stems with forever stems. It just seems that cobs and Burley go together like peas and carrots. Schmoking Sugar Barrel in a cob right now. 8)
