[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 121047"] True but Irrelevant : not a combination usually considered, but apt, IMHO. One of the most glorious smokes I ever had was FVF in an old, oversized (group six [i]plus[/i]) Stanwell billiard that LL made an improved stem for. It was truly an awesome experience. The problem was that, even with the flakes torn lengthwise into strings and packed upright, it lasted well over three hours. Which brings us to, Yes, Virginia, there [i][u]are[/u][/i] flake pipes. Bore size is around 19 mm. or a bit less (3/4" -- 7/8" [i]tops[/i]) with proportionately short bowls : bulldogs, Rhodesians, authors, tomatoes and the like. I.e., shapes designed to hold one flake, with thick enough walls to not overheat too easily. Millions of these have been made over the years -- for a reason. They're good examples of an old, true cliche. Like "Get the right tool for the job." :cheers: :face: [/QUOTE]
