Here
My PAD is almost dormant. BUT I'm still looking for a pipe of a particular profile.
I want a bent and squashed Rhodesian or Bulldog, maybe a Tomato. I want that low, not quite flat, "swoopy" profile with a large diameter and very flat bowl. Bullscap is another name I've seen applied.
So, show me what's out there and feel free to tell us what you like and don't like about it.

Here is a classic bent Rhodesian.

Dunhill 3108.

Here is a classic Squat (Dunhill term, similar to "squashed") Bulldog. You asked for bent, but I threw this one in.

Dunhill ODA 838 [Patent], 1954

This modern partially bent squashed apple/tomato is probably more what you had in mind. It's a nosewarmer. Hard to tell from the angle, but it is slightly bent.

Here's one. This seems to tick all the boxes. But price tag is high $$$. She is certainly PAD worthy :crying:
She's a beauty. https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/castello/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=283002

jaytex, you mentioned a squat Rhodesian, can't say I've ever seen that. As to new squat bulldogs, don't see them come up much. Tomatoes aren't often seen in factory pipes but see them a fair bit among artisans.

Here are some images from the internet. Some don't have good links, or old ebay cached pics.
Leo Bogart. Danish. If this pipe ever crosses my path, get out of my way!

The 1 squat bulldog I own and the 1 tomato are Petersons but shapes not in current production, a Donegal 493 and a smooth Shamrock B24 respectively

Great eye Jay! Peter Heeschen was a wonderful carver. Such a sad loss he is no longer with us.
Here is the sister pipe to the one above. My Peter Heeschen Sandblasted Bent Brandy with Black Palm.

If you're looking for a bullcap, I think Briarworks makes a nice 1. I really like it in the brown blast.
