[QUOTE="mark, post: 194875, member: 376"] Just a wandering ramble of thoughts here,,,I wonder if the shape of the pipe has anything to do with how it smokes ,,,aside from the thickness of the bowl absorbing heat, maybe the shape and size of the chamber has a greater impact on smokability than appearance of the pipe. Another thought, maybe a properly engineered layout including smooth airflow in the design could account for a better perceived smoke. Then you get into "pipe mojo" where two identical pipes smoke completely differently,,,explaination?,,mojo. How about a cob,, a chunk of vegetable matter drilled out and a hollow stick inserted. Produces the best smoking qualitiues any particular tobacco can offer. People aren't fussy with a cob,,,they stuff and puff,,after all it's just a cob,,,works great,,,everyone is surprised. So I guess my opinion is pipe shape is a comfort or preference thing,,comfortable in the hand or nice to look at. Smokability is an engineering thing,, or mojo,,, :lol!: [/QUOTE]
