Bowls for Tobacco Types

PipeProfessor

I dont think this has been addressed yet, so sorry if this is a repeat! I was wondering if you used different sized bowls for different types of tobacco? I hear larger ones for aromatics and smaller for virginias....any truth to that?

The only time I avoid a small bowl is for flake or cube cut tobaccos. They are a bit harder to pack.

I started one but got only one response.  I like your discussion name though as it hits the topic on the head more than the other one.  Here's a link to the other one https://thispipelife.com/us/tpl/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/133/pipe-bowls-vs-tobacco#latest

I've always heard Virginias go great in a narrow bowl as they smoke hotter and their is less burning in a narrow bowl.  Cav and Lat blends go good in a wide bowl to open more of the flavors.  I personally only follow the narrow for Virginia everything else I just smoke and everything goes in a deep bowl for me.

Great minds think alike @drac2485! Great info as well!...Yeah @rubineby, they can be hard to pack down due to teh cut.
