I just thought I would say a thing or two about this series

of pipe as I have really come to enjoy how they smoke

flake tobacco. I have a Vario and a Deluxe and they have

both performed above and beyond for me every time. They

have a nice conical drilled tobacco chamber, which just

screams "flake" ;-)
Now when smoking flake in these two pipes I choose a fold/stack/rip

pack. I basically take a larger flake like a Dunhill one, fold it

length wise about three or four times evenly (you can judge

based on bowl diameter) and then rip it down about three or

four times and stack to make a nice little plug. Give this method a try,

I find it works great, keeps the flake burning even, cool and

with full flavor
Also since they have a military style mount, they are great for

on the go, being about to break down the stem right after

smoking to carry/clean.

Very cool. Good to know about the conical chamber -- I would have overlooked this series otherwise (not that I need another pipe :crazy: ).
I think it's easy to overlook what an amazing company Stanwell is -- they make so many great pipes at a great price.

Thanks for sharing that pipe! One of my favorite pipes is a Peterson XL315, which also has a conical chamber. Never really thought about smoking flakes in it before. Good advice!
