Some days good, some better. Did you come here to push me off this here bowl shape debate hill? Ha ha. The battle is sorta lackluster. I had a better day yesterday, gouging out eyes of people recommending Sutliff swill as a replacement of McClelland's. Lotsa murder. It was fun.Lol fell off the (or on?) the wagon for a bit and switched to cigars for a spell. Otherwise I've just been gettin older and crankier. lol How have you been?
I would say it's more 100% Even a badly drilled pipe can work with dry tobacco and good tamping.Like, where di the 80/20 ratio come from?
You need a new thread. You've just invaded a new sorta hill, and it's an odd one to die on.I would say it's more 100% Even a badly drilled pipe can work with dry tobacco and good tamping.
You never see me posting a how do I do this thread.You need a new thread. You've just invaded a new sorta hill, and it's an odd one to die on.
Salted, you are one sick puppy, it is why we get along so well. Twisted knows twisted. lolIf someone drops out I had thought they were busy bathing in the blood of those they had murdered. . .
I thought Mixture 79 was the new McClellands?!? Have I been away to long?!? Speaking of which, my hiatus did allow my cellar to age nicely, I just cracked a tin of 2013 Christmas Cheer to share with a new piper that had never smoked anything but Captain Black. Was a great day of fishing and bonfire tales to be sure.Some days good, some better. Did you come here to push me off this here bowl shape debate hill? Ha ha. The battle is sorta lackluster.

I make that mistake so often, That I immediately knew you had typed Mixture 79, ha ha. But, be careful. We can no longer make fun of it. It is a protected species now, with a handful of forum members actually smoking that shit. Can you believe that? In the old days, we'd have instantly broken someone's noses for even suggesting it as if it were a real pipe tobacco.Mixture &(
Just bought the same pipe and have the same question.......View attachment 47130
I just got this Stanwell Brushed Black Rustico with a pot shaped bowl. I was hoping it would have a bowl diameter of .08 inches like it said, but it is definitely just shy of 3/4", but oh well. It's not very deep, and it has a lot of character. I'm breaking it in with Orlik GS and Sutliff Virginia Slices. My question is, does it's distinctive shape and thick walls lend itself any advantages? Disadvantages? Any specific (even if subtle) effects on how it smokes? With specific tobacco types? Just curious if anyone had any insight into this.
I feel special! He gave it to me in Plain EnglishNope. I keep getting them and just assumed they couldn't read English so I tried a different approach.
Say La Vie ? If it was good enough for Hef then who am I to judge. I still enjoy the odd edderdale flake when I want to reminisce about how my grandma's handbag smelled..... and for the continuation of the tread I enjoy smoking it in a Zenith ceramic zulu shape.I make that mistake so often, That I immediately knew you had typed Mixture 79, ha ha.

Good God, man!! You don't ever say stuff like this out loud on here. RUN!!! NOW!!! Get out of there! Do not stop to grab anything, just hit the road man. Text me when you reach your state line. I'll paypal you enough money to get to the border... The Mexican border. We have too many members up there in Canada, despite how nice they are, they have orders. RUN!!!Can it not be that Mr. Inks is, in this case, wrong?
Really wanna go there?View attachment 47864
@hoosierpipeguy I mean, can we fault embers for not understanding the differences in bowl sizes and shapes. Just look at his collection.
