>>9202774i have a briar and a collection of cobs. cobs are the best smoke. they wick away moisture better and give it a hint of sweetness. the missouri meerschaum short cobs are my go to. i have a bigger mcarthur but i only use it when i'm going to be sitting at the computer or in front of the tv for a long period of time. it's too unwieldy and hard to hold in your teeth. the cobs also keep a burn going better because they're drier, so if you have a deep bowl you can drop it in your pocket and it doesn't burn out or burn holes in your pocket somehow. i learned that trick from my grandpa.
