Dublin Pipe Bowl Shape

[Elric]

I have a Stanwell brass band Dublin that is probably my best smoker. Tobacco burns very evenly down the chamber every time.

 

[BROBS]

Conical bowls burn easier to the bottom without stirring because you don’t have a wide heel.

 

[whsergent]

Conical chambers imo seem to burn hotter/better and if they get too hot you might sacrifice some taste.

No difference in the smoke, unless your tobacco is soggy. Then the moisture is more concentrated in the heel of a conical bowl.

How do you refer to a stem which isn’t simply tapered but squared off towards the bow (apologies for using likely incorrect terminology)l?

Could you post a photo of same?

How to place a photo in a post:

If it's on your computer, you can drag it into the REPLY Box directly, or to the Image box (see below) after opening the dialogue box. If you are LINKING* to an image, click on the Link button and paste the URL into the box that opens. The symbol to LINK is the right hand symbol on the upper left of the box. (Looks like a tilted infinity sign.)

No need to resize, as the server will do that for you. Choose full size image, not thumbnail.

* Photos from many—even most—websites can be displayed by copying the image's URL, usually by Control-clicking onna Mac; or right-clicking on Windows, selecting the URL (often stated as "Copy Image Location" or similar words), then copy/paste that into the window.

Would the Brigham Algonquin 247 Bent Dublin be considered a straight bowl?

 

[TinCup]

Aromatics smoke fine in these.

I mean cylindrical bowl

 

[Chasing Embers]

I mean cylindrical bowl

Bowl or chamber? If the chamber is cylindrical, I'd call it a bent billiard.

 

[BROBS]

The bowl of a Dublin is tapered.
The chamber might be conical or "U" shaped.

 

[olkofri]

Brigham's shape 47 is a Dublin, although a rather nebulous one: it's midway between Dublin and billiard.

 

[sandollars]

Chamber shape has never affected flavor of smoke profile for me.

That's because you smoke your tobacco bone dry.

That's because you smoke your tobacco bone dry.

Meaning anything tastes like burnt paper?

Never hear me crying about a wet, sour pipe or a burnt tongue do you?

Nope, but captains are meant to be tough and stoic. nana

Never ever, Captain...
