[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 146831"] Why are bulldogs flake pipes [i]par excellence[/i] ? (I'm envisioning real bulldogs here, like you'd find in 1950, and smoking actual, intact flake segments in them as opposed to fully rubbed-out shreds of what had been a flake). First off, chamber diameter (18-20 mm). Wide enough for a flavorful smoke but not so wide that it's hard to keep going evenly without over-drawing and attendant tongue abuse. Second, chamber depth. Billiards with similar bores can work well also, but a bulldog's hour or so burn time is enough. Fringe benefit is that irregularities and miscalculations in packing density aren't as multiplied over distance with them as they are in taller bowls. Third, just because they are :cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :face: [/QUOTE]
