If You Could Collect Only One Shape

Apple with goodly bend.
Just feels good in the hand.

 

[mrjerke]

Rhodesian with bent stem for me!

Interesting question. I think it has been brought up before here, and tastes do change. My first choice would be the bent bulldog, as I have 3 of those. I like the mouth feel of the wide bits they have. The bent Rhodesian would be next in line. After that, I like the Danish freehand shapes.

I am more interested in the whole package, and if a pipe speaks to me, I have to acquire it, regardless of the shape. Probelm is, they all speak to me, bwahahaha.

It would be an 1/8th bent Zulu. Or maybe a straight Bulldog.

Straight billiard. I've really been enjoying how much variety you can find in the one shape-I particularly like the Danish takes on it.

Full bent billiards come in second, but not a close one.

 

[tarak]

Bent dublin.

 

[smeigs]

I would do pokers or freehands (not sure if that is classified as a shape cause they are all different usually)

 

[bobpnm]

Billiard.

 

[dochudson]

Canadian.

 

[captainsousie]

Tapered stem bent Rhodesian comes first followed by long Canadian.
I have found that pot shape equals "do not want!".

 

[dread]

Rhodesian

Bent Dublin

Billiard

 

[sergemoat]

Bulldog or Rhodesian here.

 

[trailspike48]

I'll take a Billiard, but I reseve the right to bend some stems and keep some straight.
If I get to choose the brand or carver I'll take nearly any of the traditional shapes.

 

[85royals]

Really any bent. But Rhodesian and cherrywood would be the two

 

[tjameson]

Partial bent Dublin.

 

[shaintiques]

Danish Egg

 

[phil22]

Dublin followed by Bulldog.
