not to mention the bowls are just too small, a tease at best for me. I’m also a pick it up and put it down all day kind of smoker and I have lots of pipes of all sizes to choose from but I really only smoke my Group 6 size and larger pieces. I rarely if ever smoke my MM Cobs. They just don’t have enough capacity.  Maybe they need to grow bigger corn! |

The country gents are decent too. |

Another kernel has been popped... Took me longer to get than it should have. Well played. |

Um...I think they're ok.

Nah...I love them. I never have issues with my cobs, from a smoking point of view. They just don't look and feel the same as briar though.

Cobs vs. briars is kind of an apples-oranges thing. I would NEVER give up my briars for cobs. They are a bonus, not a replacement. Different, ≠ equal. Just another example of the richness of our piping pleasure. |

Humorously, at one point I actually gave away or sold almost all of my briars, and bought a pile of cobs. I have since rebuilt my briar rotation, and added my first morta, which I love, but I still throw another cob on just about every tobacco order.
