There are certain makers who, in my opinion have nailed the classic shapes. For example, I think that the GBD 357 is a great, if not the best example of a Prince in form. When I think of a Billiard, I think of a classic Dunhill 3 series.
What are your opinions of a specific general shape, and which maker and number best represents each shape?
If you had literally every pipe in your collection, and had to pick examples of each shape to display in a museum as an example of that shape, which maker and shape would that be?
I realize this is VERY subjective, but I'm genuinely curious if some type of consensus could be had for a given shape.
