Comoy Bent Bulldog

I'm trying my first photo post--a new, to me, Comoy Christmas 1983.

Excellent! I have the exact same pipe. Christmas 1983. Mine is an excellent smoker. Congrats.

Thanks, Gary. I'm used to smoking flakes, folded and stuffed, in a billiard. I'm wondering how I'll have to modify my packing style for this shallower, wider bowl. I'm sure I'll find a way.

That's a great looking bulldog, congrats!

By the way all of my bulldogs are flake smokers.

petes03--Thanks--so what do you recommend? fold and stuff, rub it out, or cube it (my least favorite so far) for flakes?

It depends on the depth of the bowl, and the cut of the flake, but I normally use the fold-n-stuff method. Incidentally, when I fold my flakes I usually twist them around a little before stuffing them. It's almost like partially rubbing them out. I feel I get a better initial light, and more consistent burn throughout the bowl by doing that.

Looks like a classic 409, a beauty!

Love my bulldogs. That looks like a fine example.
