That I do not know, but, I have seen another thread where someone mentioned vulcanite versions will be available in the future???Whenever they get the vulcanite ones in I may give them a try. Just got a new freehand in the mail yesterday and it had an acrylic stem. When did they quit using vulcanite on those?
Great analogy to comfort food! I’ve been using my cob as my daily driver. Working through a big can of SWRA and whatever is next to it.Love them MM cobs, especially when refitted with acrylic stems or bought as special editions with acrylic stems as stock. Little work horses, and a treat with premium fancy-dancer blends or good old codger leaf. I love my briar, Mountain Laurel, cocobolo, and Meer pipes, but MM cobs are comfort food.
Nice cobs and stems! I agree that the forever stems are great but hard as rocks!
I thought all the freehand stems were all vulcanite??Whenever they get the vulcanite ones in I may give them a try. Just got a new freehand in the mail yesterday and it had an acrylic stem. When did they quit using vulcanite on those?
Thanks. The strange thing is the stems are all the same diameter but, the red one is impossible to get into both cobs.Nice cobs and stems! I agree that the forever stems are great but hard as rocks!
Can you tell me what's up with the swan matches? Are they special in some way? Vs regular matches?
nice, thanks, I might try some for funzies next time I order.Thanks. The strange thing is the stems are all the same diameter but, the red one is impossible to get into both cobs.
As for the Swan matches, they don’t use sulphur and they are “strike anywhere.” They don’t impart a nasty taste on your tobacco when you light up. I really like them.
Edit: Swan‘s were know as “The Smokers Match” originally.
I guess they've changed. Got a couple of Fifth Avenues for a friend and added an unfinished red freehand for myself. Came with a big Danish style acrylic stem.I thought all the freehand stems were all vulcanite??
