I talked with Smokey to get an Ok on this. Since there are so many makers out there, I thought it'd be good to have "Show Off" threads of general pipe shapes so that no matter what brand of pipe you have, it can find a spot in the "Show Off" section! I'll be starting a few today, but if you have some shapes that I don't include, feel free to start a thread with that shape. Smokeybear will be linking these to the "sticky" for the "Show Off" section.

First up is my Peterson 2013 St. Patrick's Day "606"!

Here's my 1960's Charatan "348DC", it's had a lot of use over the years, but it's still in decent shape. The logo on the stem is nearly gone, if you hold it to a bright light it can still be made out.

This is my Tom Thomb mini briar (yes, it's spelled thOmb). It's hard to tell how small this pipe is from a picture, the chamber diameter is around .500" X .500" deep! Believe it or not, I can stretch a smoke out to nearly 25min. in this thing, depending on the blend!

My Charatan Special: "chubby" pot with double comfort bit.



A very old Brigham Pot, one dot, also in my collection. I smoke this one quite often.

My only straight pot is a red stain Amadeus, Greek briar, a full Group 4 and pleasantly light weight.

The Peterson 606 is quickly becoming one of my favorite shapes. Looks like it's pretty popular as well!

That Charatan is gorgeous.
sallow, how do you like that Sebastion Beo? I like the look of his small, classic pipes, but I've never smoked one. Very nice pot.

pitchfork - the Beo has a nice wide open draw. I also have a small Beo Canadian that I would list as one of my best smokers, clean, sweet and dry with good flavors. He uses good briar.

My first pipe, which I still have and smoke, is a Tinderbox St. Ives smooth bent pot, probably made by Chacom. Somewhat unusual shape, with a vertical saddle stem. Bought new in maybe 1978. A one-owner estate pipe, as it were.

Thanks, alaskanpiper! At the time when I got this pipe, I wanted a Dunhill with a bamboo shank and also a pot shape pipe. Luckily I could complete those two tasks with one pipe. I do espeacially like your Castello 55. Here is a picture of her sister, who lives in my collection. It is a kk Sea Rock.
