Hey All. I am generally growing to like pipes with longer shanks, shorter stems. But I am confused about the identification of pipe styles. What distinguishes a lumberman from a lovat? Or are they the same?
Got it! Thank you!This sums it up pretty well, the differences are subtle.
Jealous... great collection!Here’s a group of Sasieni Canadians.
I may have to buy an Ontarian on principle.And don't forget the Ontarioan - Oval shank with saddle stem and freakish proportions:

Apologies for nit-picking in advanceHere’s a group of Sasieni Canadians. The long ones are 7 1/2 inches. The Amber one is from and unreadable makers mark but it’s 1901

No worries. The amber stem is a long billiard. It’s just on the same rack. No nit picking. It’s not a Canadian.Apologies for nit-picking in advance
Isn't the amber-stemmed an elongated or long-stemmed billiard (shank is of "normal" proportion to bowl height, just a longer stem).
I really do love the look of amber stems, BTW, even if they are somewhat impractical (brittle, thick and uncomfortable to clench, esp if it has an orifice bit)
I didn't think about MM but you have a valid pointI really enjoy smoking the lovat pipes I have found. I consider a MM Carolina Gent a type of lovat.

I know many will disagree, but a few pits dont bother me... and I would almost rather them be left unfilled. But I agree about the Canadian shape - I have one, but will add I thinkwith a few small inconspicuous durable fills.
