I am finding that this pipe works really well with flake. I don't really break down the flake, just hold a little bundle of it lengthways and insert it, perhaps twisting slightly as it enters.
Whew! That sounds a tad racy!
At any rate, the weaknesses of this pipe are thin walls and small chamber diameter, so it gets hot easily. (still a little racy) Not a problem though. This is one of the things I like about pipes, just let it go out. So, I get to smoke a little for a few minutes, 10 or 15 if I don't get carried away, and then let it go out. Since I'm usually doing things around the house, this works out perfectly. Let it rest awhile, then hit it again. (Will it never end?)
Needless to say, I'm very happy that Rusty brought my attention to this deal. Bus driver application accepted, thank you.

I’m really glad you’re enjoying it Steve. I enjoy the pickaxe shape but they do tend to get a little warm. But in turn they also cool quickly.
First time thanks @Stubble
You always remember your first time, Jim. Congratulations.
I decided to try out Mac Baren Vanilla Roll Cake in my no-name Italian estate calabash shaped pipe with an acrylic military mount stem.
Did you enjoy it Jim?
