I admire the design Randy Wiley's pipes a good deal, and I'm especially intrigued by his "tilted" pipes, where the bowls lean a bit to the left or right of the shank. But the design leaves me with a lingering question: how does a tilted bowl smoke?
Burning/heat rises, so I worry that the heat would run up against the side of a tilted bowl (rather than out the top, like in a level bowl.) On the other hand, if you hold the bowl in your hand when you're not actively smoking, it'll spend most of its time level.
Any thoughts? Anybody have firsthand experience with a tilted pipe?
