Hearing that come from you sir, I feel validated.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I don't hate the few briars I have. I have a beautiful pre-Republic Peterson that I do enjoy. I'm smoking a no-name briar right now that I picked up at a flea market on the cheap. But I probably smoke cobs 10-1.

Maybe it's just because I'm a rookie and cobs are so easy. They don't ghost, so I can pack whatever I'm in the mood for in and not worry about it. It's damn near impossible to make them gurgle, which I do have a problem with in briars. That may be why I lean towards them.
