If you decide you want to stick with it, you might want to try a forever stem from walker briar works. I ordered 5 of them for all my cobs and love them. My churchwarden on a great dane egg seems to smoke the best. It seems kind of silly to spend the $20 on a $10 pipe, but they really help to tighten up the draw by eliminating the chamber made for the filters. Plus they should last 'forever'. I also noticed the soft plastic stems that come with the MM's get chewed up fairly quickly. Apparently they've improved this, so I can only imagine what the previous stems were like.
