[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 36454"] Three Nuns was a coin tobacco. Escudo, if memory serves, is one. Rolled up like a sausage, then sliced very thin into "coins." Especially if you're just starting out, you will have a frustratingly hard time smoking flake Virginias in a bowl wider inside than 13/16" (19 mm.) or taller than an average billiard. English-style mixtures, maybe around 7/8" but leave the wide chambers for later, should your taste run in that direction. The wider the chamber, the more difficult it is to keep it smoldering evenly without drawing too heavily & frequently (which overheats your pipe and generally scorches your tongue). That said, some pipes just shine with certain tobaccos and don't get along well with others. Pipes are female. Sometimes you have to experiment to find a combination of pipe & tobacco that works well. There are a bunch of interesting musings at GL Pease's site about stuff like this. :face: [/QUOTE]
