PipeSMOKE's Guide to Pipe Shapes and Styles

admin · Jan 30, 2014

For the latest installment of one of our new features this year, the PipeSMOKE Magazine Archives, we have a great educational feature on pipe shapes and styles. Even if you you are well-versed in the different names for the different styles and shapes of pipes, there are so many different ones, that it can be hard to remember all of them.
Here is a great succinct study, or a refresher for some, of pipe shapes and styles.

This is a great resource! I disagree with the illustrations of the Rhodesians. In my mind, a Rhodesian has an oval or round stem not a square or diamond as shown. That is a bulldog.

There are quite a few not pictured, like the zulu/yacht, acorn, author, egg, diplomat, brandy, and a number

of others, but this is a good primer on shapes. Never mind the ever-popular churchwarden, which can have

bowls and shanks of a number of different shapes. Many pipes blend two shapes, like Dublins with a dome

brim like Calabash, and many others. You can't pin them all down to one category, but it helps to know some

basics in discussing pipes.
