[QUOTE="Lonecoyote, post: 497127, member: 4073"] A point I stated prior definitely works for me, so I will mention it again: Whether it's a flake or Cube cut blends I find these tobacco's smoke best in a pipe that has a 7/8" chamber. The thicker the walls of the pipe, the cooler the pipe smokes and much more flavorful, no harshness or gurgle issues. Also, my pipe bowls that give the appearance of being heavy but in fact are really light in hand are my best smokers. Most likely porous briar, which makes for a superb smoking pipe. In general my older Estate pipes I find smoke best for me, with the exception of a few pipes that were custom made and were purchased within the past five years. You can take the most beautiful piece of flawless briar that's light in hand and make a stunning looker when finished. But, if the draft is not drilled properly, and the stem is not drilled and made properly your end result will be a pipe that might just be an okay smoker. If the mechanics of the pipe is off, even slightly you'll never achieve that superb smoke! Ocelot nailed it with his statement on " The Mechanics of a pipe "! [b]KEEP ON PUFFING!!![/b] [/QUOTE]
