Legends v Washington Cobs

[sunriseboy]

I just received two Washington cobs, and thought I was having an out of body experience. They look exactly the same as the Legends I have.
WT...?!

Will someone tell me what the story is please? I feel a bit miffed that I've paid more money for no reason.

Washington has the black stem, Legend has a yellow coating. So $2 more for the black stem, sans yellow. Same bowl.

I like the MM Missouri Prides, fairly small though they may be - they're delivered unfinished, and smoke like champs.

So my first corn cob was a legend bought in 2012, still have it. Yellow coating, and hard wood plug. I looked online to find another and only the Washington pipes with white coating list a hardwood plug. So I emailed them at Missouri meerschaum, to ask what's up with that. I was told that only the Washington pipes have the hardwood plug, and the legends are soft bottom. And that it's always been like that.

So I must have gotten a fluke pipe. It's sad cause I don't care for the Washington, but love the hardwood plug.

Probably doesn't help you at all, but I've been in a similar situation. Lol
