Look up its inspiration, the Peterson Jap.
Always fun to mention:
The Devil Anse shape was born entirely by accident.
After rehearsing a scene in the Hatfields & McCoys TV miniseries, Kevin Costner was unhappy with his performance and thought his character would be improved with a prop of some sort. A pipe came to mind, so he headed back up the road several miles from the on-location backwoods set to a general store he'd noticed driving in, scrounged an old pipe, and modified it to look more rustic by throwing away the stem and whittling the shank down a bit.
The end.
He was happy, the director was happy, and everyone involved was happy. It was a slice of brilliant intuition.
The distinctive shape, however, with the equally distinctive name and which would soon become PipeWorld famous, was simply luck. It was all he could find in the store.

Paul Menard just made a nice blasted one, and has made this shape quite well previously.

Having recently popped into the pipe world I definitely found the “Devil Anse” craze interesting.
Pretty sure the closest we know of Anse Hatfield smoking is standing next to a guy smoking a cigar
I do like the pipes though, and someday I’ll own a medium JAP AB!
Peterson still (sort of) makes the JAP.
Meaning there are modern-made reproductions of a pipe they made 100+ years ago floating around.
A thread several months ago dug into it some:

Why Is This Shape So Rare? (Peterson JAP) :: Pipe Talk
It appears in their oldest catalogs, so isn't something new. Half billiard and half belge, pretty much. A more practical and attractive pipe than the wildly popular Devil Anse from a few years ago (which was just an improvised movie prop), so it can't be the forward-tilted bowl. No company...
