Need a Big Bowl

[Chasing Embers]

Ali-

Since you are new to pipe smoking, perhaps wait a bit on your quest. Get more acquainted with smoking a variety of more standard sizes and shapes.

Just a thought. Good luck!

Good thinking. I keep magnums around to pack for smoking on and off all day.

but i would like to know how do you put rhem in a pipe, i know that tou tamp down the shredded tobacco but how do you use flakes or cakes, also if you are able to tell me how flakes and cakes are made ti become a solid piece(any additives?)
Thank you for all this help brother

I am pretty sure it is just pressure and time.
High amounts of pressure from hydraulic rams offering tones of force over time leads to the solid mass. So pretty sure no additives to achieve this.

Buy three cobs. Load them all with the same blend and chain smoke em back to back. 2 1/2 hours of smoking, for less than 25 bucks.

2 MacArthurs glued together?

Why not simply fill up two regular sized bowls with flake and enjoy each one for 1 hour and 15 minutes each? If only it were simple as filling up a gigantic bowl and smoking it. Packing can be tricky. How do you light it if it is really wide? An ember in the middle is going to leave lots of unsmoked tobacco on the sides. Oh, just light it all? Sure, now you have created a blast oven. Oh, I'll make it really tall to make it last longer. Sure, that will be easy to pack. And have to empty ash frequently. And, and, and. And isn't it possible if not probable that lots of moisture could really accumulate with such a large bowl?

Not to mention one might get a bit bored with a single blend for that long. There's a reason the vast majority of pipes fit within a certain size range. If you're that set on a large pipe, just empty out a dog food can, drill a hole in the side near the bottom and attach a tube of some kind. Fill that puppy (play on words there folks) up and puff away for a 1/2 a day. It works best by the way to empty out the dog food first.

3 MM Country Gentlemen smoked one after another would last me at least 2 hours. Longer than that if I was smoking flakes.

I wish they'd make some of those.

They've had two runs, can't rule out a third.?

Looking at pics of Macarthurs, some are drilled for the shank about halfway and and some are near the bottom. What's up with that?

OP,where is yours drilled?

I just went through a re-read of the Lord of the Rings. While so reading, I smoke Capstan Flake in a Cobbit Dwarf, and I had no trouble at all getting an hour out of it.
OP, I hate to sound harsh, but you are brand new to the pipe wold. You know next to nothing about it. Your thought of getting a huge pipe for next to nothing is, frankly, totally absurd. A pipe is not a cigar that you smoke once and it's done.
You have gotten some sound advice. Follow it.

If you want to build cake, leave the dog food in it.

You could get yourself a Boswell Magnum, but it’ll cost you.

New pipe smoker + giant bowl = tongue bite

 

[craiginthecorn]

Try this search to see if there’s something that appeals to you. You might think about a rusticated or sandblasted Peterson House Pipe with a p-lip stem, which directs smoke away from your tongue.

Find an estate Mountbatten 810. A huge bowl that I have smoked flake in for 2.5 hours. Well made and great smokers. I need to have some serious available alone time to use it.

 

[anotherbob]

maybe buy another pipe and load it up at the same time as the first. Then start smoking it the moment the first is done.

802...that is what I get for not reading the thread from beginning to end and for not checking my pipe. Payback for browsing the internet while on a work videoconference. :/
