I agree. Certainly plug, but also flake/coin/and rope, seem to go really well in small-medium pipes like this. You can definitely get a full-length smoke in this one with plug, and benefit from its light weight for clenching and carrying as a pocket pipe. I own and enjoy big bowl pipes, but they certainly are less portable. A range of sizes, from extra large to Group 1 small all serve a good use, along with all those medium bowl pipes we love so well.
