I received The Flare today, thank you! Hank is spot on about filling the bowl about half way. After doing so, I could move my snout easily between the lower lip and upper lip to nose between the body and the alchohol. I am the minority vote in that I like the length of the stem just fine. First, I have slender West Coast fingers, not those thick unrefined cucumbers traditionally found on pirates in various parts of Florida. Anyway, the stem area serves as a rest for my ring-finger and my little finger goes just fine under the base. Another thing that makes this my "official rum glass" is that it does not look like a wine glass. The size of the bowl/body is great, too. My hand nestles the bowl just enough to warm the rum as I tend to like it. The base is sized correctly for those of you who, like me, over indulge and need a broad landing zone! Overall, this is a great product and I will buy a set to impress my friends.
