thanks a lot If I Show you screan of that pipes? Ive beel looking them for a long time and got favorite 2The depth alone is not sufficient information to answer your question. There is a considerable difference between the smoking time of a 1.2" bowl depth with a diameter of an inch versus 1.2" bowl depth with two inches in diameter, for example. And of course, if time is your main concern, besides bowl diameter your bacy cut is also a determinant factor - shag burns faster, than for say flake. You get the idea ... My advice to you, if I may, buy yourself a corn cob, not too large, not too small, and give a ribbon cut a try. If you find out that you like larger bowls in contrast to what you have, you can give it a try, or on the contrary, if time does not allow you for a medium sized bowl go smaller, but at least you don't spend a fortune on the pipe should it not be to your liking. The ribbon, in my opinion is a fair cut, it packs easily and should have a an even burn. Basket pipes may be another place to start. But then again if you have enough money to put into this your area of possibilities enlarges. That's keeping it as simple as I can possibly think of for starters.
I like these two. but honestly I dont know they are middlr sized or small bowlsThe depth alone is not sufficient information to answer your question.

Those are both nice looking pipes with cool looking stems. I'd say if one fits your style, go for it!thank you a lot for that great information.
at the end I would ask-would you recommend "baraccini caffè con panna"? I wanted to start with it. (plus I am going to buy one corn cob too for relaxing that barracinni )
I will learn everything about tobacoos step by step. but for the beginning I wanted nice pipe with 30-40 min. smoke time abbility.
thank you very much. i think I will buy it today. and I want to try to buy 2 or three different tobacoos to understand which one is mine
yes i agree with you but first I wanted opinions from you like experianced people. I have been looking for pipes for a long time and still cant choose which one is better for 60-80$ but I allreaddy know that it will not be my first pipe ?Go ahead and buy it ... there are so many dimensions of the pipe, that I bet that this won't be your last pipe if the bug catches on. At the end of the day, I agree with most of the people's above opinions, but for you to truly understand I suppose you will have to experiment on your own, and find out what works best for you.
I know, whenever I break out a blend with latakia in the winter, it seems to just last a day or two, and I end up doubling how many pipes I smoke in a day. They just burn so damned fast.I never understood how anyone could make a medium size bowl smoke for an hour until I began smoking Virginias. Some seem to smoke forever, while English blends disappear in no time.
