Not compulsively but I've grown fond of "stacks" and whenever I see estates of that shape they call to me. I have a very large Dr. Boston stack the is my favorite pipe to smoke when I go to my local smoke shop. It gives me a long lasting smoke.
I really like stacks and toppers too. They always make me pause and consider buying them also.

I’ve been looking for an MM reverse calabash ever since I saw the one that @Chasing Embers had a few years ago. Something about that pipe really catches my eye.

I’ve had a saved eBay search since then (2020 IIRC) and have yet to see one pop up for sale.

So close. I’m not a fan of short pipes like that. Although, I suppose I could re-stem it.

Coincidentally, the link that @AroEnglish posted led me to a company that says they have them in stock. I was having a hard time navigating the website with the language barrier. Parts of it are in English and other parts aren’t. I sent them an email and they said they’d do the deal via email, but they want me to send my credit card information and address in an email and I’m not comfortable doing that with a domestic entity, let alone one in Turkey. They also wanted like $115 + shipping and their website indicated shipping would be $70-$80. For the reasons above, I’m going to pass and keep looking.

And, to be honest, I’m not even really super interested in it anymore. I’ve got plenty of other pipes and need to get rid of some of the ones I have vs. adding more to the stable. I’d probably still buy one if I found one that was more confidence inspiring, however.

I’ve never been particularly interested in reverse calabashes but I do love short pipes and cobs. Maybe I should just buy this to keep in case @BarrelProof changes his mind in the future ;)

Yeah, that price is way steep and then the added concern of a non-domestic entity would make it a no-go for me too.

I've always got my eye out for a Kaywoodie 07. I have two, and I love them. I'm not really sure what my "style" is when it comes to pipes, but I do know that for a straight billiard, it is absolutely perfect for me.
