I like my new cob, but I'm used to pipes with much wider chambers. Can anyone recommend one with a nice wide chamber?
Or you could just do that ?Look at the specs on the. Missouri Meerschaum web site.
Yeah the Old Dominion Richmond had nearly a 1 inch diameter. They were great flake burners, but came with those suck ass reed stems. Not sure if they make them anymore.@alaskanpiper knows about some Old Dominion cob that's a monster. The problem is that it also seems to be kinda fragile. I guess the stem is garbage and he tried to have it re-stemmed, only to find out it grenaded in the lathe. Regardless, if you're willing to try it as manufactured, I think it was the widest bowl he could find on a cob.
The Morgan and reverse calabash are .75" and the Freehand and General are .875".In the MM regular lineup I like the morgans for a wider chamber
Oh yeah, I didn’t mean to indicate that it was the widest MM by any mean, I just like the chamber dimensions for smoking flakes.The Morgan and reverse calabash are .75" and the Freehand and General are .875".
I was just posting dimensions for easier access by the OP.?Oh yeah, I didn’t mean to indicate that it was the widest MM by any mean, I just like the chamber dimensions for smoking flakes.
Thanks for reminding as I’d like an Old Dominion just for the experience.Yeah the Old Dominion Richmond had nearly a 1 inch diameter. They were great flake burners, but came with those suck ass reed stems. Not sure if they make them anymore.

I’ll just say that the mid ‘70’s freehand I found is a better pipe than the new ones.I think the MM cob chamber diameters vary with the cob crops. Some year bigger cobs give bigger chambers and diameters, and others they are smaller. The pipes sold as special editions with acrylic stems for about $26 seem to me to be a little bigger in general, as if they were selected for that, but it may just be that I've bought those in big-cob years.
