Why would someone who likes ice go for the flat bottomed Glencairn (that is the "canadian" one, right)? Because it is larger and can hold the ice?
Seems like his hand warming the glass and the ice cooling the spirit would compete, making it a little unpleasant to hold and accelerating the melting of the ice. To each their own, I guess, but if I were icing my spirit I would want a stem on the glass I could hold or a thick enough wall to provide some insulation.
