[QUOTE="SpeedyPete, post: 403656, member: 1538"] The reason for this odd shaped pipe was a shortage of wood/briar and the form of the particular block. The carver could not make anything else but this miss-shaped thingamajick out of it. For me, there is only one way to find out what tobacco will shine in which pipe and that is sort of trial and error. I smoke all the tobacco which I keep in my rotation in a new pipe (of course after the pipe was broken in.) Eventually I will know what tobacco tastes the best in any particular pipe. I've also read about wide bowls for narrow tobaccos and all that kind of shyte. Not true! You smoke your pipe and find out what it likes. There is NO other way. I have 70+ pipes and smoke about 20 different blends of tobacco. What I'm now busy doing is to note down which "tobaccos like which pipes". For instance: Prairie Wind likes pipe nos 1, 7, 9 and 11. So when I feel like smoking a stop of PW I will pick a pipe which fits that particular blend. So I'm doing it the other way round; instead of dedicating a pipe to a certain blend, I will dedicate the blend to a couple of pipes. Hope this makes sense to you. [/QUOTE]
