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. In 2013 Missouri Meerschaum finally added a hard wood insert to the bottom of the Country Gentleman, like most other larger sized cobs. | The Country Gentleman is popular, in part, I think because it looks funky, with that black coating it shares with the Patriot Spool.

For Christmas 2023, the company released a special edition with a red acrylic stem colloquially known as "The Scarlet Gentleman". | ||
