Cobs By Other Brands?

[anotherbob]

I know there used to be more companies that made cobs then M.M.. Anybody got any? Any one have any info on any other brands from America or anywhere from years previous (not interested in other brands on the market now). Just curious and almost never hear anything about it.

I may be mistaken, but hasn’t MM bought most all other American cob manufacturers?

I own one little Buescher that has a screw-in bone stem. It's unsmoked and probably will stay that way for a long time, because I understand it's either natural cob or plaster at the bottom. The joint seems pretty fragile. I have other MM cobs to smoke. I just bought it mostly as a curiosity. I don't know much about the brand.

I have a smaller H&B Irwin S Cobb which i smoke regularly. I prefer it to my MM, not that it’s necessarily better. i will need to put a hardwood plug or something in the bottom soon as the plaster is getting pretty soft

I smoke a couple Old Dominion cobs that I bought before MM bought them out…..damn good smokers!

Look up EMC Custom Cobs. First class cob creations.

I have an Old Dominion and think it's great. The EMC looks interesting.

Here’s the H&B, I swapped the original stem out for a forever stem which that was only half as long.

Also my favourite Cobb, while technically an MM bowl, is my Kirsten. I wanted a pipe which screamed Americana and that’s what I settled on.

Most of Missouri Meerschaum's competitors have bought by them. None were very large.
