corn cob suggestion

[cajunplume]

I know nothing about cob pipes. i need a suggestion on which one to get.

 

[thesmokindragon]

No other way to go but an MM-Cob, but then have our Uncle A make

you a real stem for her and it will be a happy cob ;-)

 

[cajunplume]

sounds good thanks fellas

 

[thesmokindragon]

U got it brother, marscigars.com has the cheapest prices I have seen

And super fast shipping

 

[baronsamedi]

Ii have a MM Legend with a unclearthur stem and a MM Great Dane bent Egg that is about to get one. No other way to go than Missouri Meerschaum

 

[ace57]

M&M is it!

I seems to be anonymous.
Absolutely buy a MM Cob and get you a good stem for it...

Uncle Arthur can make you a good one.

And, there are others available.

MM is the only game left in town. DON'T but the nasty Asian knock offs.

I've got one of them Chinese cobs, they're quite awful. M&M makes great cobs, though, but as people have mentioned if you're a heavy clencher the stem will easily be bitten through after some use. Speaking of, I need a new stem for mine, how much are yours, UA?

 

[unclearthur]

10 to 25 depending on what ya get.

Go with a diplomat or a country gentleman from aristocob.com

 

[oldmaus]

MM Country Gentleman and you will not find a better price anywhere than

Mars Pipe and cigar

Thanks for the links, tiltjlp.

I got one of those Chinese cobs for $4 and poked a hole right through the bottom of it with my pipe nail. That was a real quality pipe right there!

Anything other than Missouri Meerschaum is a gamble. But a few of MM's models don't have hard wood plugs, so you need to use a lighter hand when using a pipe tool pick on them.

Only one of my MM cobs has a wood plug, but they are all WAY more solid than that Chinese piece of junk!

 

[marmal4de]

I still have yet to try a cob, I am slowly softening to the idea though.

 

[spartan]

I'm not allowed to buy any more pipes for myself so i bought a non pipe smoker friend of mine a cob and he LOVES it. He fell in love with it. The son of a gun smoked a cob BEFORE me. I'm jealous of him. Cobs rule.
