My Pride is Showing

[newbroom]

Well, that's just to get you to look.
This is about why I like the Missouri Meerschaum Pride model the best of my assorted MM cobs.

It's lightweight. It's incredibly tactile! I imagine that it's how that suedeblast finish Walt Cannoy puts on some of his pipes feels.

I suppose they make other models in natural cobb, but, did I mention that they're also inexpensive?

I enjoy cobs and have several that I seldom smoke anymore, including my Elf, Freehand, and Country Gent. I do have a couple of Morgans, my OG Legend, a 5th Ave. and a Spool, that I smoke too.

Do you have any favorite cobb attributes? (other than that they smoke cool and easy?)

I like the Country Gentleman, straight or bent. I like the replaceable stems and the easy draw.

I have a briar with military-mount that will accept those MM stems. I “preserve” the original stem and smoke that briar with replaceable stems.

Southport Ferryman here... love that pipe!

I, too, like the country gentleman. The ease of replacing the stem is too nice.

I'm right there with you on the Pride. Not only does it smoke cool, but it seems to me like it adds a tiny bit of sweetness

What kind of briar pipe is it that will accept an MM stem? It fits by chance or is it designed to do so?

Missouri pride is also my favorite cob, even though it came with a hole beneath the sticker that I had to mud. I've been smoking it regularly for years. I replaced the stem for a couple of bucks after I chewed the old one up. I've often wondered why I prefer the pride to my nicer cobs. My next favorite--a close tie really--is the Eaton/Pony Express.

Cobs are nice addition to good collection of briars. They burn cool and deliver good flavor.

Old Factory Denmark Stanwell with a military mount. Pressure fits perfectly.

My favorite is a Let Freedom Ring, bent with the Rob Roy bowl. I’ve got MM’s “Danish” bits for my Mo Prides as well.

It is interesting to me that the pride pipe comes with a straight stem.

MO Pride can be had straight or bent.

MO Pride can be had straight or bent.

That's a queer development.

That's a queer development.

That’s the world these days, it can be a drag…

 

[Briar Lee]

I’ve visited the factory and watched them made.

A natural cob pipe is taken straight from the bin and made into a pipe.

The ones I want, are taken from the bin and drilled and plastered inside and outside. Then the next day they get made into pipes, and are further drilled, polished, and varnished.

I like the people at MM, but I don’t want them getting lazy.

Living in the land of snow and ice, I don’t want to chance my nice briars in the sub zero weather. Nothing negative would probably happen to them, but you never know when you’re wearing gloves. The cobs provide a good grip. Love my 9mm European No. 1. I wish they’d make another that takes a 9mm filter.

This is my favorite pipe. It smokes cool & effortlessly. Burley smoking machine it is. Handles Virginia blends nicely as well. ️
