Volume of the chamber is one thing, and shape of the chamber is another.
My LJ Peretti has a chamber that's almost an inch wide and it makes for a somewhat uneven smoke, it's hard to keep the whole surface lit and when I can, it burns through a lot of tobacco quite fast.
3/4 inch chamber width is good. The taller the chamber just makes for that much longer a smoke.

I smoke 3's and 4's, I prefer smaller chambers because of the weight and the fact that the blends I like (Bombay Xtra, Penzance, Nightcap...) tend to Smoke well in smaller pipes.

I dont really know the bowl sizes by number. I know I started with very large pipes, but now I prefer a solid medium bowl, just a tad bigger then a MM country gent bowl. I dunno, I probably should learn the sizes by number
