I've not seen an author of nose warming proportion. However, the bend may keep the bowl roughly the same distance as one of your stubby apples, for example. Do keep in mind that the 320 is a heavy and plump pipe. It's hard to find something more pleasant in hand though, (in the pipe realm, that is).I am drawn to the shape, but I prefer nosewarmers. Is there short/small 320? Thanks in advance.
