The biggest complaint I hear about cobs is about the plastic bits. After all these years, I’ve probably gotten used to them, since I don’t really mind them. If they are a problem for you, why not consider having better quality bits/stems made for each model MM cob you have, and switch them between cobs. At least a member or two has done this, and would share their experience if asked. Or if you decide to stay with the plastic bits, you can buy replacement bits very affordably, either from MM, or from Mars. Of course, the Freehand comes with a vulcanite bit/stem, so maybe that would solve your problem. | The biggest complaint I hear about cobs is about the plastic bits.

Most of the above complaints have been taken care of, since Missouri Meerschaum has remolded their bent Diplomat stems/bits. The new bent Diplomat stems/bits are durable and should last quite a while, unless you're a stem biter. | ||
