I thought the only difference was that bent pipes were easier to clench but i may be (and probably am) wrong.
I love straights, I find them easier to clench (makes no sense I know), straights are also easier to pass a pipe cleaner through.
My favorite pipe is a straight but I have no problem enjoying bents as well....although I have yet to try a calabash.
most of mine are straight or 1/4 bend with a couple of half bends. i tend to grab for my straight pipes often. i find them just as comfortable to clinch and hold. when i clinch, especially the straight pipes, i don't hold them outright. i clinch loosely and allow them to hang a bit. quite comfy. only real difference to me is the ease of passing a pipe cleaner through a straight pipe.
I tend to favor bents they feel better when I clench. Straights are also great. Pipes in general are great as long as they smoke well.
When I got started smoking a pipe I only really wanted bent pipes but not long after that I found myself getting many straights. I definitely have more straight than bent but I like bent more than straight for how great they are on the clench. Straight definitely smokes different but a well made pipe will smoke well regardless of the shape.
Started mostly bent for years.... Now my most recent acquisitions have been straight... with one notable exception.
The majority of my pipes are straight. I just like the "classic" look of a straight but have not noticed any pronounced difference in the smoke quality between straight and bent. All a matter of preference.
It's a little strange with me.I have about the same number of each.I tend to smoke only straights for a while,then only bents for a while.
