[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 32127"] After years of expensive mistakes I learned that form and function are inseperable. In a positive sense, that a 13/16" bent bulldog or prince has to be really screwed up inside to not smoke flakes well. Ditto 7/8" billiards with English-style tobaccos. Negatively, that stacks, pots, nosewarmers, big freehands, half or more bents &c. are very low-percentage gambles as far as their liklihood of delivering the kind of performance I've learned to appreciate and look forward to. There's always going to be some head trip aspect to it -- this year, it's Cavicchis. Previously, it was old-time Anglo-Irish for decades. Next year it might be Stanwells. But whatever it may be, the accumulated right guesses of years past have the form and size parameters pretty well defined. :face: [/QUOTE]
