It's so refreshing to see someone get so excited about a cob pipe I love my cobs my country gent is an absolute beast it smokes anything brilliantly, the emerald is also a fantastic pipe as is its cousin the Charlestown cobbler great video really enjoying your content 👍👍👌

Get a forever stem from Vermont freehand. My country gentleman has the “G” style orange swirl and a gold band. Cheers!

It’s so nice to see someone so genuine, soft spoken and ‘nice’. I really enjoy your videos. Thank you!

Watching this as I’m waiting for my country gentlemen to arrive. It’ll be my very first pipe. I got the straight pipe version as recommended for a beginner. Can’t wait!

I just love your channel Kevin. I’m a tabletop gamer and historian that got into pipe smoking 8 months ago. I’m from Kansas and you give off the perfect midwestern vibes. I’m like you I enjoy differ blends and I am starting to enjoy corn cob pipes. Please put out more content, love your stuff.

Greetings. First I’d like to let your know that I’m a wildlife field biologist and I’ve worked as an orthodontist (study of wild birds) for the majority of the last 40+ years. I’ve studied other wildlife as well and currently am studying suburban wildlife and the effects of urban sprawl and wildlife habitat loss, which drives wildlife into suburban neighborhoods. Thank you or providing food and water for your resident birds. Aho! Regarding your Missouri Meerschaum, it’s my favorite Corn Cob Pipe… one of my very favorite of all pipes. When I was a boy, my grandfather and I would trout fish in the Black Hills in South Dakota… spend all day, and often several days fishing. And he bought me my first pipe, a Missouri Meerschaum cob pipe when I was 8 years old… many native children smoked them… I know it’s something that would be frowned upon by most people today… but it was part of our Lakota ways. I was making pipes when I was 10. But my grandfather preferred corn cob & briar pipes over our traditional hardwood pipes. Anyway, I’ve always had a corn cob pipe since then. This pipe Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman, is hands down my favorite. It’s smokes as good as any of my Peterson, Savinelli, Dunhill or any other pipe. Missouri Meerschaum and Dr. Grabow were always my grandfather’s favorite pipes, and he also had a few Keywoodies. New subscriber.. 👍🏼

You've got such a kind demeanor to you, Kevin. It'd be nice to sit and enjoy the birdsong with you someday, and share some favourite tobaccos!

I agree - I like to smoke a little bit of everything. I also, changed my mind on cobb pipes. They are a wonderful addition to a pipe rotation and collection. Enjoy the Emerald it is excellent pipe.

Still appreciating this video two years later. I love the Mark Twain, a Dublin. And the Diplomat apple shape. Great additions to a rotation.

My first true workhorse pipe. I've repaired my with Elmer's glue many times, refuse to throw it away lol. No doubt you'll love it for years to come.

Always a thrill to get a new pipe, isn't it. I really enjoy "Northwoods". I'll give "Countryside" a go at the next order I place with Boswell's Take Care.

Really enjoy watching your videos! I've heard great things about the country gentleman. My pipe that I smoke is a MM pipe too but I cant remember what kind, I picked it up at a tobacconist shop in San Antonio and it's my faborite pipe! I bought a forever stem for it and it smokes great. I'm gonna have to get me a country gentleman and give it a shot.

I've only been smoking pipes for around 2 months now. Funny, the first cob I picked up, and coincidentally the first non basket pipe I picked up was a Country Gentleman...and it was by accident! One of the local tobacco shops just so happened to have one and I really just enjoyed the way it looked. I have since obtained a few briars including a Mr. Brog, Erikson, and a Rossi Vittoria. The plastic stem soon wore out because I tend to clench a little aggressively (something a forever stem has happily remedied). Despite having some excellent briars, this pipe is probably right up there with my Rossi for how good it smokes! Highly recommended for new pipe smokers and seasoned pipe smokers alike.

I give you joy of your new Country Gentleman! Now you need the straight version as well. It's an unwritten rule of the YTPC that you require both. 😁

The value of this pipe is unmatched. 10/10

I’m smoking nothing but cobs during Lent. Definitely want to add some more cobs like this one to the list. I find myself leaning more toward MM cobs lately.

Great vid Kevin. Thanks to you, I now have 2 of the country gentleman with 2 different forever stems from Vermont freehand. I have to agree with 1 of your other subscribers, it's a "workhorse". If I started pipe smoking all over again tomorrow morning, I would have more cobs than briars. Thanks!

I just purchased a Gentleman. I cut the protruding shank out with a chisel and mudded the lower bowl. First bowl was M.M. Missouri Pride. I love that the Gentlenan can be set down and rests easy on a flat surface. Smoke on.

Hope you enjoy that Country Gent as much as I do mine. Great pipe.

I hope your country gentlemen brings you years of happiness! Congratulations on your new pipe sir!

I also smoke a variety of tobaccos based on the mood of the day. Happy smoking and enjoy your new Country Gentleman my friend.

It’s always nice to get a new pipe isn’t it? Thanks for another video man!

A fine video, Kevin - the picture of a contented pipe smoker. It great to have you sharing your enthusiasm for the pipes, tobacco, and the community. Be well, stay safe, and keep the awesome rolling along - peace

Congrats on the new purchase. It's a looker. I'll have to remember that blend for my next Boswell purchase. Enjoy your night! Cheers!

It is fun getting a new pipe. I have two country gent. And love them both. Great blend to break it in with. Enjoy! - Jesse

I am eagerly waiting for mine to arrive. I ordered the 2023 holiday bundle #2 it comes with an Eaton pipe, you can't beat that for value.😁

Well done Kevin, you certainly picked an appropriate tobacco for your inaugural smoke. Keep Well, Steve.

Soothing like Mr Rogers you are.

Loved this Hobbiton. Keep putting out quality vids. I subbed. You deserve more.

Glad you enjoyed it. Have a great day Sir

Great video Kevin! This and your Margate review were a pleasure to watch. You’ve quickly become one of the youtubers that makes me excited when I see that you posted.

Definitely my favorite cob for sure. You may even be tempted to by another. 🙂😉 I haven't tried countryside, but I do have Northwoods jarred up, haven't tried it either. Have a great week Kevin.

Loved the video, have a great weekend my friend

I really need to get one of those.

Love mine!!!

Hello from Spain. I live in a town between Barcelona and Valencia, on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea. You know that the pipes are made from the root of the briar, "Erica arborea", which grows in sandy and rocky soils, here in the Mediterranean regions. I have good briar pipes, but my favorites for Virginia tobaccos are the Missouri Meerschaum corn pipes. For me, the Missouri M. Freehand is the best pipe I have. Country Gentleman is also a fantastic pipe. Nice video. Cheers.

I ordered mine yesterday I'm excited about it

I knew you would dig that pipe! Just wait until you get your hands on the Emerald! Oh, I guess you already have😂! I LOVE the stem on that Emerald. I love the “ping” of my S.T. Dupont, but I always smoke outside, and if there is the slightest bit of wind, you can forget it! You can’t beat a Matches860 approved, wind proof Zippo, for lighting a pipe outdoors! Great video, my friend! Keep ‘em coming! Your content it OUTSTANDING!!!

Nice Western Box Turtle I think, all I’ve seen in Virginia is eastern… obviously I guess lol! Love the country gentleman. My favorite cobs right now are my two bent Mark Twain’s. I smoke those pipes everyday. I still haven’t tried Boswell’s and I definitely need to. Great video.

That DuPont ping.

Watched your video & I also tried the CountrySide tobacco for the 1 st time . And yes I like it better than the Northwoods because this Countryside 8:35 I sweeter! I like it smooth and mellow . 🤠🤠🤠🤠

New piper here. I have 2 briers & 5 cobs & a "virgin" meerschaum, but so far my cobs smoke best for me. Thank You for your channel. Why are there over 52 comments but only 42 thumbs up?

I knew you wouldn’t be disappointed. The second one I got in my grab bag actually has a deeper bowl than the one I bought. They are both my outside working, grass cutting, etc pipes. If you want an even better smoke pick up either a black or amber Danish bit for it. You won’t believe the difference

Kevin the pipe looks great!! Boswell’s tobacco are the best.

Hey there smoking my country gentleman here with gawith hoggarth coffee caramel and Jim beam and coke perfect Friday nite after watching your vid enjoy the pipe bud

Again, not sure how I missed this one back in May but I'm on board with corncobs now.

Got to get myself a corncob..hunt one down over this direction

I will order this because everyone talks about it and the way you were so excited made me excited. Well....we were talking about savinelli and I will order one but I need to save up. Lol Last night I ordered an elf cobbit and two Markus fohr clay pipes. Excited to try them out. Now....I must have the country gentleman and savinelli 673.

I’ve yet to find a briar that matches a country gentleman. Maybe i just can’t afford a high end briar, however I have a few 60 dollar briars. Is a $100 + dollar briar worth it?

Since you have use both of the gentleman and cobbit shire corn cobs..if you only have to choose one...which will you prefer

What kind of Filter can be used for Missouri Meerschaum - Country Gentleman Corn Cob Tobacco Pipe - Straight Bit

Great video! And nice pipe. Do you use a filter in that one?

What do you think about the Apple Diplomat Missouri corn cob? Vs the country gentleman?

I really have been loving my 2 cobs but after a few months they took on a sour/bitter taste - I deep cleaned them and it mitigated it, but it seems it may be permanent. Have you ever had any issues like this with cobs? It isn't burnt out from the looks of it. If I smoke slow enough it is fine, but any heavy puffs have a bad tinge. Some say cobs are disposable and when this happens to toss them or get a new one, and some say they've been smoking them for 30 years, which I can't imagine. I've tried sun drying it , etc. But I don't think it's ever going to be as good as it was when it was new. Either way, my briar has been getting a lot more love now :D Cheers!

I love a good cob, but I've noticed that they are finishing the outside of the bowls with a lacquer that seems to make them smoke hotter than the "open" unfinished cobs. So I have stopped buying them. Don't try Boswell's Apple Strudel, because it doesn't smell or taste anything like apples. I love Box Turtles, they are so interesting. You have them roaming around your yard ?

Don't smoke that pipe until you cut out that damn inside the bowl and get that little recipe from Kane rod and put in the bottom then enjoy

#9

Did I notice you took the filter out?

Do you modify the bowls on those Cobs? I haven’t yet
