Your favourite Missouri meerschaum?

[danimalia]

I'm partial to the Diplomat 5th Ave. Pretty standard Billiardish dimensions. One of the first ones I ever bought (literally my first pipe/tobacco order) included a General. I didn't have any idea how big they are. It's tall and pretty narrow, but I've found it does a wonderful job with VA flakes.

I like MM pipes, too.

I just like the the McArthur! Don't use much, it always makes me want to storm a beach?? :crazy:

Thanks everyone for the replies! I decided on the Morgan after to keep as a work/truck pipe. I think my next pipe purchase will be a broad of some sort, I have my eye on a few. After that, however, I may go ahead and order a freehand. This is going to get expensive quick hahahah.

I like the special editions, like the Dagner and C&D collaborations with Missouri Meerschaum, for their acrylic stems, which for not so much more money, provides a lasting acrylic stem, eliminating routine replacement of the soft plastic ones or purchasing extra Forever stems. An acrylic stem makes a cob a permanent pipe that will often last for decades or longer, especially in rotation with a lot of other pipes.

For me it's the great Dane spool and 150 anniversary bully

The Prides are my favorite but please observe the 24 pipe rack with nothing but MM Cobs in it. Meers #1, MM Cobs #2 in my book...

I have quite a few MM corn cobs, but if I had to choose, my favorite would probably be my naked Morgan. It's a great size, and I like the nice thick walls.
The Country Gentleman would probably be my 2nd favorite.

The Carolina Gent.
I bought one when it first came out and it's been quite the regular in my rotation. I've gotten a ton of bowls out of it. Just a great compact pipe with a rather spacious chamber to it. Travels great and it clenches really well. The acrylic stem they put on it is really nice. Highly recommend it, especially for a new piper.

It was discontinued a few years ago.

Nothing gold can stay :!:

My favorites are listed in an earlier post, but I would also say, my favorite is any cob I'm smoking at the time. My wife got me a freehand with a Vulcanite stem (yes MM offers them from time to time). It's a bent "Dublin" conical bowl, very deep, perfect for Tabac-Manil Semois burley variant, and many other blends. As I've said before, I don't have any notions that cobs are too funky or rural. If I were traveling, and had an event, I'd have no compunctions smoking a MM in a suit and tie, or a tux for that matter. 'Looks dapper and youthful in my opinion. By now, the public scarcely knows what a tobacco pipe looks like, and is unlikely to have an opinion on which one you're smoking!

I have several favorite MM cobs. It depends on how, what, and where I’m smoking for my choice of cob. Country gent with a short forever vulcanite stem for the car, Charles Towne for the porch, a forever stemmed shire for short smokes while reading, a wizard for longer reading sessions, a dagner for mowing the yard, ....you get the idea. They all become favorites.

I love all my MM cobs - the different shapes are good for different things. But the MO Pride (natural finish - no external sanding, none of the stuff they use for smoothing/sealing) is superior to the regular finish cobs in my opinion: smokes cooler and dryer, dries out more quickly, has lots of texture for the hand, is quite a bit lighter, and unlike the varnished MMs, doesn't pick up weight over time. If I had to pick just one pipe to get through some Didi-esque exercise in pipe-smoker self-immolation, it would be one of my bent Prides for sure.

I like my bully most of all...but the others are fine too, particularly the Country Gentleman.

 

[aro222]

The country gentleman has served me well, however this cobbit is by far my favorite.

A short smoke but absolutely amazing.

 

[disinformatique]

Dont have a favorite cob yet, have a few cobs including the cob wasp of 2015 by Chris Morgan, Missouri Legend, Danish Spool and a mini cob.
Cheers,

Chris :puffpipe:

 

[jaytex1969]

My first cob was the tiny Tom Sawyer, which always smoked well, if a bit short.
I grabbed a 10-pack of "seconds" and currently use one of them, a Missouri Pride, for aro duty.
Always a good smoke.
