[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 358138, member: 2318"] What do you mean by "very large bowl?" I have a pipe with a bowl that's conical but a full inch in diameter at the top. Another is two+ inches deep, much less taper (practically zero), and less than 3/4" at the top. The former requires some care to consistently pack the edges to prevent early gurgles. The latter seems easier to get the density of the pack right, possibly because the walls of the bowl are near vertical, possibly because this design makes it easier to test "springiness" of the packed bowl. Sometimes you just have to experiment a bit to find out what particular pipes like. OTOH your pipe seems prone to the gurgles, judging from what I've heard, which may / may not be reliable. Could also be that the pipe would smoke drier with another kind of pipeweed. Try a nice plain, no-topping Virginia. That's been a good "dryness" test of a pipe for me. [/QUOTE]
