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.Quote:

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".....Quote:

I get an hour out of it easy.Quote:

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.Quote:

I'm curious how a flake would handle a small calabash as well...
