Favourite Corn Cob?

[ThermionicScott]

The Eaton. The .6 diameter bowl is perfect for the tobacco I smoke. I think it smokes ever so slightly better than the pony express (though I love that one too)because it is natural, with no varnish. I’ve been smoking my Eaton regularly for over five years. I get a 45 minute smoke out of it, unless the wind is up. I take mine traveling, including motorcycle camping across the country . No matter how wet the weather , it smokes dry, down to the bottom. I only wish mm would use the natural version of this bowl on other pipes—like the Tom Sawyer

I've read on another forum that when you're ordering direct from MM you can ask in the order notes for a natural cob on any pipe, but haven't tried it myself.

Thanks!! I’ll try that!

Does he do any without stain or goofy colored stems?

Same(ish) here. I prefer the bent with the RobRoy bowl.

@Sobrbiker my Kiger mustang prefers the Country Gentleman. Or maybe he just liked the Peterson Irish Oak I was having that day. I'm going to go with option #2.

MMC Elite Egg. Short length with a deep chamber. My burley and aromatic pipe

I used to prefer the bent business man when I smoked

Ones that arent mine, but favorites I've seen

My all time favorite cob of Banjos

The second link has some good information on repairing cracked cobs. It was Fishnbanjo who got me into repairing my Legend I posted above.

My favorites are two identical straight-stemmed Patriots, both well over 10-years-old, and they are sweet smokers.

I used to like the Legend until I got a Diplomat. A Legend won't last a summer as my yard cob. My Diplomats don't show any signs of giving up any time soon.

That was a pic from last month, but Bob definitely approved of the Peterson Irish Flake I was having a hour or so ago in a Missouri Pride.
On topic, I like every MM I’ve got (Morgan, Eaton, LFR, MS Pride, 60’s Freehand.

I need to try a bent stem on my straight Let Freedom Ring…

Long Term Cob Torture Test: 6 Months Under The Elements :: Pipe Talk

Just took delivery of a Huck Finn cob courtesy Smokingpipes. I used Super saver international shipping, and the package was well packed and secure. How durable is a cob? How porous is the bowl? The conventional wisdom is that briar, being dried, aged, and much harder makes for a better pipe...

I recommend the Danish stem. It's a slightly harder plastic than the original so it won't chew up as easy. Great for clenching. They are in stock at Missouri Meerschaum.

Country Gentleman Emerald bent.

 

[rsshreck32]

For me, it's the MM Diamondback all day. No filter, this pipe has the perfect draw!

I am not a huge cob guy, but I do enjoy a cob time to time. I use a cob occasionally for aromatics or for burley forward blends.

My favorite cob is a General MacArthur. However after getting one I realized that it is difficult to smoke. Also, it cracked soon which is understandable - A large cob has a higher probability of a defect which can compromise structural integrity.

As I write this, I am smoking a legend which I purchased 3/4 years ago, and smoked about 90 times. It has served me well and I hope it will continue to serve me for many more years.

I also have a miniature which I don’t like so I don’t smoke it.

The danish stems are the only ones I like!
