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



The little Sav is back in service again with a mixture of Sweet Rum and Black Cherry Twist

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...
