My pots are a Savinelli and a Greek Amadeus. These are nice broad chambered pipes, not too shallow, and seem to me to have good results with complex blends allowing them to burn all of the constituent tobacco at once in a wider ember, for full flavor effect. I also have one of those Stanwell designs by Sixten Iversson, a more conical pot but with the same broader bowl, compact and portable, and thick enough in shank and stem not to be easily broken.
