No, this ain't a request for erotic writing!
It's about nosewarmers!
And in particular the chubby type.
I've only recently come around to having an eye for these, I'm late to to game because they seem to be very popular...hopefully y'all can gimme some input.
I'm curious about weight,
many of them seem to be 50g+
are they still comfortable to clench even when heavier because of the stubbiness?
One thing that flipped my switch was looking at old catalogs, the shape used to be more common and easier to find a factory-made pipe, often called a sports or golf...
The best write-up on the shape I've found is this:

Also a great read here:

The Italians seem to love these shapes, and NeatPipes even specializes in chubbies.
They even have a special name,
"brucianaso"
GLPease was ahead of the curve in collecting them,

But some of them are very heavy,
this L'Anatra is 133g!!!
Ardor has a special name for their chubbies too,
they call them "Bucaneve"
this one is 80g
And I gotta put a Radice here,
it's become a specialty with them!
At this point, I'm mainly interested in chubby billiards with tapered stems, not as common as one would think.
Anyway,
I'd love to see your stubby chubby and hear about what you think of the smoking experience with them...
