They stand up to my best briars.

Cobs? Who knew? In another world I could see owning nothing but.
I got a Forever stem just this Monday and love it! It's converted me to smoking more of my cobs than my briars! I like being able to pop the bowl off the Forever stem and grab a fresh one. Right now, I have 5, 3 Legends, a Patriot and a Diplomat. The only "loser" is the Patriot, but it's still imminently smokeable -- that paper thin bowl is a bad idea. My favorite is the Diplomat, but the Legends are great too with the Forever stem.

I also put a bit of heat shrink on the Forever stem, so it's comfortably clenchy.

(I'm putting them to work trying out all that flake you sent me, Moo!! )
