[QUOTE="Natch, post: 298984, member: 45"] MM Country Gentleman straight is my favorite cob. I've tried several of the MM shapes and the CG straight is the one I like the best. I must admit, I'm a bit confused about the continual mentioning of cobs burning out, especially at the bottom. My MM CG has been heavily used for well over ten years, and I don't notice any difference than after it was first broken in (other then the external dents and dings from my clumsiness!). I've lost, busted, dropped over waterfalls and into fires a few cobs over the years, but never had one burn out. But, I tend to not smoke to the very bottom of the bowl, preferring to stop when about 3/4 of the tobacco is ash. You've all heard of the problems MM is having getting good cobs for two years now, and how wet they were last year. They had a brief news/interview about it in NPR last week and they basically said they are short on cobs and may be for some time. The company rep they interviewed indicated that they stopped producing the freehand and McArther models, as they are so much larger they use up an entire cob each. I test most new tobaccos in one of my cobs before I decide if it goes to a brier, a cob or the compost pile. :lol: Natch [/QUOTE]
