[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 403999, member: 1723"] Frankly I've yet to come up with any correlation between bowl dimensions and best smoking 'baccy. Tried the conventional wisdom here about wide bowl pots and flakes and found no appreciable difference to the same 'baccy in a narrow bowl. In fact one of my best performers right now is an estate Ser Jacopo Poker/Cherrywood which has a modest bore and more depth than a pot and it seems to love either st ginny's or VaPers in flake form. I've a feeling I could throw anything at it and it would be up for the task. Equally, I've been loving my Growley Pot which is pretty much dedicated to st ginny's. Yet there is no noticeable difference in taste between that and the Ser Jac with the same toby. The Growley pot does take some more time to get burning properly, such as the dimensions are. But once stoked it smokes itself. Great pipes, both of them. And then there's my trusty Wiley Rhody (or perhaps Rhody/Dublin hybrid. Can't make up my mind on the exact style) which has a tapered bowl (V-shaped) that also smokes pretty much anything superbly. So, no hard and fast rules for yours truly. That's my story and I'm sticking to it! :face: Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
