Do You Have an Aversion to Bulldogs?

[burleybreath]

The bulldog is not my favorite shape, but I buy one every so often. I like the way my thumb rests against the flat of the shank when holding it. Gives more control when smoking three sheets to the wind.

Just arrived and now smoking, a Dr. Grabow Royal Duke Bulldog with a silver band and a bent saddle stem. Notice the cross-hatching on the top of the bowl. The classic Dr. Grabow Bulldog bowl - it is a shame these pipes are now no longer in production. I purchased this one from WVSmokeshop. This is the same place I found my Royalton Bulldog. The end of an era apparently.

Good looking. But, question has to be asked: Is it really a bulldog without the two grooves around the bowl?

I had an uncle who owned a couple of bulldogs. All they ever did was sit around and fart all the time.

Yes it is. I have bulldogs with and without the grooves, but it always seems like the pipe is a bit naked without them. The beauty of the Dr Grabow bulldogs, I think, is found in their simplicity. I believe I’ve seen Dunhill bulldogs with the grooves. Plus, the grooves sometimes chip. Yikes.

I’ve got a 90 pound boxer who can clear a room!

No aversion but, the proportion must absolutely meet my eye.
