[QUOTE="KevinP, post: 147190, member: 1518"] Currently smoking Virginia Woods in a real deep bowl Butz-Choqin calabash (briar). I think what you really want is a blend that changes considerably over the course of a single smoke. Tobacco reviews often report changes in flavour at the 25%, 50% and 75% mark. But would that be the same for a big bowl? Not in my experience. If I smoked a pipe that was half the size of this bowl (and I have some), by time I got to the end, it would essentially be the halfway point of this one (not exactly, because I think the interaction with the ash and dottle are factors, but you get my drift). So by time I get to to the bottom of [i]this[/i] bowl, I'll be tasting things that smaller pipes can never deliver. So exploit that. (Virgina Woods might not be the best choice for that, but it wasn't my purpose when I filled it up.) [/QUOTE]
