Best Corn Cobb makers?

[steelman]

While generally an Italian briar man, I am curious to try a cobb pipe. Who are some of the better makers?

Missouri Meerschaum is the standard for corn cob pipes.

Missouri Meerschaum is about the one answer there is for "best". Though if I remember correctly Jake Hackert has been known to offer a corn cob and I wouldn't doubt for a minute that he can do a great job.

Although I forget the name, one of our members here makes very nice custom corncobs, but commercially your choice is Missouri meerschaum or cheap Chinese cob off eBay. I know there arnt a lot of choices but really, Missouri meerschaum has everything you could want, cheap pipes expensive pipes and all great quality.

I wouldn't smoke any commercial corn cobs except for Missouri Meerschaum. (Country Gentleman is my choice of pipe)
I would swiftly throw a cheap Chinese rival brand in the trash, but I wouldn't turn down the gift of a custom cob.

Jake does make some fantastic cobs (when they are available),

I have two Generals and a Pat from him that are outstanding smokers
And I have been known to make one or two.....hundred of them ;-)

Has anybody mentioned Missouri meerschaum ? Country Gentleman is my favorite so far. Just picked up a Freehand and Patriot tho.

Love my MM bent Washington!

I like the MM General...but I hate the plastic stems. The freehand stems are sold separately and will fit and filtered pipe with a bent stem. Put a Freehand Stem on a General and you have a $15 Cobb that smokes great and has a decent vulcanite stem.
