Thanks. As I wrote, I'm aware of that. I'm curious about whether others find that the cob stems interfere with their smoking enjoyment.
I don't find the OEM cob stems to be a problem. I have 3 or 4 cobs that retain their OEM stems. I do have a dozen or two aftermarket stems just for the looks. They are the same styles as the high dollar brand, just without the dot inlay and a lot cheaper.
I will let YOU fill in the blanks _________ _________ _________
