I realized last night that I have 120-something pipes, but reach for the same three over and over again. That the same three account for between a quarter and a third of ALL my smokes.
Why? Because they're mucher morer comfy-er, and taste muchly more gooder.
They also are less "fussy". Meaning fill, light, and (pretty much) forget. They smolder like an underground coal fire.
All are quite large with tall bowls, so ideal for watching a movie or reading a book. Large & tall chambers also taste better because the next puff gets to marinate in warm and fragrant unburned tobacco.
They smoke dry, are perfectly drilled, and the stem & button are super comfy. Their hand feel is also excellent.
They're too meaty for driving----never mind jet skiing, base jumping, or riding Brahma bulls---but that's not a weakness, just a "mission" thing.
Fit and finish is top level, and the shapes are unique. One of a kind. Since shapes need names for both fun reasons and practical ones, their maker dubbed them the LCDog, the Dome, and the Jug.
The funny part is how different they are from what I ever expected to even own, never mind be my Best Evers. Not British made, not a classic shape. If a time traveller told me ten years ago the pipes you see here would be my favorites, I'd have laughed and told him his phone booth needed recalibrating.
