What cob is that? ?
It is an Old Dominion Laughing King. I much prefer the Old Dominion cob over Missouri Meerschaum.
Reminds me of an Executive I have,canted the same way.
Smoking the last crunchy bits of my Samuel Gawith Navy Flake from last night in the J Alan canted Brandy glass.
I believe it's an Old Dominion cob. They are the only other makers of cob pipes besides MM. They have a more original appearance.

Flake Medallions in a Dr. Grabow. Debating whether I want to buy any of the Carolina Red Flake...
Close to finishing this bowl of circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style.
It looks great!
I have no issues with my MMs, I smoke them more often than my Briars.
But now I have the feeling I'm going to have to try a Old Dominion..
Wow, I hadn't heard of them, cheers for the link.
I think I might have to brave my first overseas order for some of these...
Whilst I'm a big fan of MM, there's something about the look of those Old Dominions..
And Round 2 with the R Martin Blakemar Briars after work.
This time it's Elizabethan Mixture..

Just tried a bowl of Missouri Meerschaum 150th Anniversary Crumble Cake which I picked up on a whim. Not my usual choice of blend but found it very easy smoking and if it was available in the UK I'd probably order some more (got stung for duty ordering it from MM, unsurprisingly).
As an aside, I ordered it alongside a Pot O' Gold cob, which I binned unsmoked. Very poorly manufactured, I'm afraid. Shank cracked for the full length, the mortice ring had been flattened, and the tenon fit was loose as loose can be. I've kept the nice amber acrylic stem which I'll redeploy on my Legend, so it's not a total bust. Too much of a hassle to return it, but man-oh-man MM's QC needs some work, especially given this is supposed to be one of their premium cobs. I'd have been disappointed if I'd been sold it as a second.
