Favorite Cob Cob Shape and Why?

[zitotczito]

The CG for me, I like the weight and fits my hand nicely.

If I were to buy a new cob right now, I think I'd lean towards the Wizard Cob and the General to go with my Legend. Taller bowls and the Wiz is a churchwarden.

The General is a recent addition to my collection and I like it a lot,

But the Diplomat 5th Avenue is the old standby that I use most often.
And I use bent bits in straight pipes cause I just got to be different.

On some of my straight Legends, I have used the hot water stem bending technique to turn them into a "hillbilly prince" shape.

Missouri Pride because that's what the local shop carries.

The Eaton and the Legend I can't decide between those two.

 

[colorduke]

I prefer the Legend,Roy Roy,Pony and Tom Sawyer.

Mine is Country Gentleman. Love the size, shape, grip, etc.

My favorite cobs are the Dagner MM collaboration Poker. I own 6 of them.

Wow, do they smoke that good? I was thinking about buying one. Now I should definitely get one.

Great little pipe and easy to clench! It has an acrylic stem too.

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely get one.

Missouri Meerschaum is the only corn cob pipe period . Like the Legends. Got 3-4. One from 1980. It still smokes good. ;-)

Until recently I didn't know there were 2 versions of the MM Legend or 3 versions of the Washington. And now I see there are 2 versions of the Great Dane.
BTW, I never see any love for the Patriot. I admit I don't have one either, but some of you must have one. What do you think about it?

I like all my cobs. I've enhanced several MM cobs with Forever acrylic stems. I especially like the natural freehand, because of its texture, the large bowl, and the vulcanite (or sometimes acrylic) stem. I also very much like Old Dominion cobs with the bamboo shank/stems, the real historical item; I have a small Chesapeake and a still-small but larger Laughing King. I do not consider cobs throw-aways. They last a long, long time, and I think of them in the same way I do my briars. I've given away a few pipes, but I've never thrown any away.

I've been growing very fond of my 2 Missouri Prides and I'm smoking them more and more often. I also picked up an unsmoked MM cob at an antique shop not long ago. I'm not certain which model it is. It took a bit of smoking to get that antique store musty taste out of it, but it's s great pipe now.
They've still got the original stems. I can throw in replacement stems with an online order for 89 cents when the time comes.
As far as binning pipes my total is briars 2 cobs 0. ::

The Marcus that may change once I get a Dagner poker.

Missouri Pride, nuff said....

 

[monty55]

I've owned many different styles, all mm.
I don't know that I could have picked a favorite until the Mark Twain came out. Got two straights and two bents, and they are hands down the best bowl for me.
Make a nice bowl bottom with pipe mud before you smoke them and they should last you many years of great smokes.

MM Morgan. Great little pipe for a quick smoke easy to clinch while you work etc.

The Cutty. Short, light, a fine cob.
