No don't fall off the wagon and piss up your allergies again, bisch. We piperz miss you when you're gone. [emoji14]
Earlier today, I had a small bowl of cube cut HH Old Dark Fired in a little Savinelli. Good stuff!
Don't worry buddy. I generally only smoke that much when I drink.
And I only drink....like....well like every night I guess. Yeah. I drink every night. Ballz.
I'll just drink MOAR to smoke Lesser! It's science! [emoji106]

G&H Sweet Rum Twist in a little Savinelli Elegance 313.
I bought this pipe new during some P&C Savinelli sale a while back. Not knowing how small it was, I was pretty well disappointed when it showed up. Looks like something a lady would smoke... if I actually knew any women who smoke pipes. However, it smokes these strong baccies like a dream and doesn't hold enough in the bowl to get me sick. Now I find myself reaching for this thing most of the time. I enjoy the full flavor of these strong blends but I'm a bitof a Nic lightweight so it's become an excellent fit.

In general, I find smaller, compact bowl sizes make the best flake pipes.
Still on the fence on shape though, I think smaller billiards and bulldogs seem to get the job done right....but I also have a couple pot shapes that are smaller and make mean little flake smokers...
More research needed to find out I suppose.

I bought 7 pre Berlin Wall pipes from Germany in an auction several months ago. 4 of those were German made Howal pipes. There's one in particular that I enjoy the most as it has a small bowl and it's great for a quick smoke. It's a very solid pipe with thick walls and now that I've smoked it many times, I would've paid the same for that pipe as I paid for the seven together. It's just a pipe that feels "like home".....

This one is an apple or prince shape - not sure which - with a slight bend. The bowl is quite small - maybe 5/8" diameter and a little better than 3/4" deep (can't measure it, it's full of chunks of Black Cherry and Sweet Rum twist) but there's nothing quick about that little bowl full of G&H rope. I get an hour out of it easy.

I was under the impression that chimney shapes were good for flakes.
I have the Imperial 2 Point from NeverBend. It's got a tall, narrow bowl - little over 5/8" diameter x ~ 1 1/2" deep - and it's great for flake of medium strength or so but I think it would kill me to smoke that bowl full of rope :pipe:

I honestly don't have a chimney "proper" so I'm not 100% sure. But I do have some fairly tall billiards, and I find they smoke flakes hot and harsh. Granted they are larger pipes. I just find smaller pipes smoke flakes/ropes like a champ.
What really opened my eyes was when I stuffed a flake in my big, ugly Brigham pot. Its short and open bowl smoked the flake better than most any pipe I have smoked flakes in. Perfect. I have a Capitello Pot that I have started reserving for flakes as well.
I'm curious how a flake would handle a small calabash as well...

I was rummaging through my cellar and found a jar of C&D long ribbon blending perique i stashed away over a year ago. Feeling squirrelly, I pulled out my mini MM cob, stuffed it full of perique and lit it up.
This stuff is delicious. Musty, mushroomy, and spicy; like mushrooms sauteed in tobasco.
This little bowl hit like a full-sized bowl. I can feel it for sure, but not overwhelmed.
I'll probably be revisiting this for a good nic hit on a short timeframe.

Maybe it's a Savinelli thing. :p I tried a bowl of Louisana Flake in my little Sav 313 a while back... just awful. Pepper and perfume was all I got. I struggled with it for a while and finally gave up and dumped it out. In the little pipe's defense, the LF was more wet than I usually smoke it and somewhat rubbed out whereas I prefer this one as stuffed flake.
Had a bowl of Nightcap in a small Peterson yesterday. It's been a while since I smoked this baccy which made it taste all the better.

The main issue with mine I think is the chamber diameter...something about this pipe just hates flakes. Rubbed out they fare better, but I'm a flake stuffer ususlly.
Also I've been smoking a lot of VA and burley blends lately....I think my taste buds are tired of them. I just lit up a small bowl of Grasmere flake on lunch, and it even tasted a bit bland....when Lakeland snot starts tasting meh, you know you're in trouble.

Either that or time to take a break. I find when it all starts tasting the same I've overdone it and need to take a week off. That first bowl afterwards just tastes so good :pipe:

I've been smoking all day, but every time I post, I get an error message. Gonna take a couple days off here and see if the problem straightens out. This happens on a semi-regular basis and I hope somebody will look into it.

The Aperitiff in a full bend Wally Frank. 1960ish.
Honestly forgot I had this pipe. I cleaned it up and put it in a drawer somewhere about a year ago. I bought it on a whim, seeing as I rarely smoke bends. Haven't decided if I'm keeping it or not yet....guess we'll see how it smokes.
