I have my eyes on two new pipes to expand my small collection, but have some questions about the shapes. If any of you knowledgeable gentlemen have an opinion to share on either, it would be most appreciated.
1. A Lovat - I have a billiard shape and from what I read the bowl shape of the Lovat is the same. Does the longer shank produce a different smoking experience, or is it purely aesthetical? Anything else, pros or cons?
2. A Blowfish - this one is (to my eyes) a very good looking pipe in a shape much different from what I have. Anything I should consider about this shape before pulling the trigger?
Thanks in advance for any input ::
