Help buying my first COB

[Grt]

Ok, lads. This outta be an easy one for you. I'm looking to buy my first every COB pipe. Hoping to find dry coolness. With some staying power. Price not that relevant. I started looking and of course, they're all.over the place. Please help me narrow my search. Point me to.a company/maker, seller, brand, location.(nothing In Lubbock!!)....something. Thanks so much.

You can go to the MM.website and order direct or most vendors have them. I strongly recommend looking for the ones with lucite stems. SO much more comfortable and they usually pair them with bowls of better quality. Be sure your selected model has a hardwood plug in the bottom…most of the nicer ones do.

My favorite-the Charles Towne:

I agree with Blackhorse the lucite attend are great. I got a Charles Town Cobbler years ago and it is still in rotation. At first I thought, why would I spend almost 30 dollars on a cob, but it is fully worth it

I must say that my Charles Town didn't last too long before falling apart, but it was worth it for the stem, which also fits my MM Country Gentleman!

I use mine as my "field" pipe. With all the dropping and banging around it goes through i can't believe it has lasted as long as it has.

My two favorite are the country gentleman and the general. Have two of those dedicated to burleys because I like the large bowl. Load them with my Urban Cowboy and I'm good for almost an hour.

I have several MM cobs plus a few really old ones with no markings. All the recommendations above are excellent; I do have three Charles Towne Cobblers!! Smoke one, saving the other two for my later years!!!!!! FTRPLT

My favorites are 2 country gentleman both. I suggest smoking tobacco one with Stokkebye 702 burley and 701 virginia. It may help your sensitive tongue with a 6mm filter and the type of mild tobacco.

I've got a MM diplomat bent apple with lucite stem, an old MM not sure the model, and a pretty new MM Pride raw (unvarnished) cob. They are all good, and it seems possible the raw will be more dry and cool, as it should breathe better through the cob. It doesn't have the hardwood bottom.

Here are 2 websites are available for the cobs and Stokkebye 701 and 702.

There are so many cobs to choose from its hard to pick just one. Since price isnt an issue, have you thought about buying a few different styles? I was always partial to the Devil Anse until I smoked it so much the tenon got lose and the whole bowl fell in my lap. LOL

MM Country Gentleman gets my vote too!

 

[Bluecow]

been smoking MM cobs for 40 years. Only started with briars some ten years ago. Lucite stems are nice, same for the forever stems. Shapes and size for whatever strikes your fancy. BUT it's darn hard to beat the simple, common, Legend. Now if someone would make a Vulcanite stem...

My next cob is probably going to be a MM General.
