So I'm thinking of getting a pipe for a longer smoke, so here's my question. Do I go for a deeper bowl or wider diameter?
My thoughts are this. Tell me where I going wrong...
In an ideal world, take 2 pipes, identical in every way except for bowl diameter. The depth is the same.
Each pipe is smoked exactly the same and the whole area of tobacco gets hit by the flame and each pipe is tamped at the same time.
In that scenario, would the ember not move down at exactly the same rate in each pipe and therfore the smoking time will be identical (in an ideal world), the only difference being that the bowl with the larger diameter would produce more smoke since there's a greater surface area of tobacco in contact with the ember?
So to get a longer smoke I would need to go for a deeper bowl. Am I right?
Obviously we don't live in an ideal world. Is my logic flawed? What am I missing?
As you can tell, I over think things. I just need to get a bigger pipe... But still, I'm curious... What are your experiences?
