[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 339351"] It seems to me that Missouri Meerschaum has made two upgrades to their stems. First was the hated plastic, but I feel that the lucite stem on my new cobs is better than the previous provided on those I bought a year ago. At this point there doesn't seem to be much of a reason to pay for a forever stem. True, the current acrylic stem is not as durable as a lucite stem on a briar, but with a little care I don't see why they wouldn't work for the life a cob. Now I remember the cob-father John Patton/tiltjlp saying that some of his cobs are 10 and 20 years old; in which case even the current stems might not hold up. [/QUOTE]
