Me too , but so you mean the chamber or the pipe itself?D'oh!! I got carried away by general trend of the posts, and missed the specifics, sorry! I am a fan of smaller bowls, though.
Anyone Else Obsessed with Bent Rhodesians / Bulldogs?

Slowly working through my rotation of Bulldogs
This one just qualifies - a 1/8 bent squat Castello

I have only 2 Castellos. Both bought because I wanted to see if they were up to the hype.
They are well made pipes and both smoke well.
But I don’t reach for them as often as others.
I prefer my Britwoods, Danish and French pipes.
No rational reason that I can think of.
That's what happens to me too with Italian pipes, for some reason.. they are all good but I never pick them... That's why I am looking for a le dune in the hopes that the visuals draw me in enough to pick it up. I guess we will see
Some excellent examples of both shapes in this thread. The Rhodesian and bulldog are my two favorite shapes and easily take up the bulk of my current collection. I always say the Rhodesian shape reminds of something, but i can't quite put my finger on it.
Here's my group, with a few straight Rhodesians in there. (primarily British)

Everyone seems to like that one a lot, that includes me too. It a Big Ben Two Tops
I only have one big Ben currently, it's a meerschaum lined one with a red plastic (but not bakelite) exterior.
A fair question, and I would say first and foremost a smaller chamber, because my sessions are usually short and it keeps my tobacco consumption a bit lower. But also, I like the light weight and clenchability of smaller pipes. Of course, I'm not even a year into pipes, so I still have a lot to experience and learn about!
