Missouri Meerschaum Corncob Buying Guide: Difference between revisions

The Country Gentleman is popular, in part, I think because it looks funky, with that black coating it shares with the Patriot Spool. Now, some folks mention that it has a larger bowl than the Diplomat, which is true, but there is so little difference, it hardly matters. What keeps the CG from being a favorite of mine are its thin walls. It’s simply can get too warm to handle comfortably, and I’m a very slow smoker. The Country Gentleman, BTW, doesn’t have a hard wood insert like most other larger sized cobs do.
