Explain The Acorn Shape

[Bowie]

I bought my Bari Senior acorn primarily because I liked the pointed base. It has what I would call a medium-or average-sized chamber. It smokes very well.

I would have called that a pick axe.

I like that a lot better. I hereby rename this pipe the Pick Axe.

That is a pretty one. I've got one from Kriswill, but not as defined as yours.

Thanks! It was an eBay purchase, about $25 if I recall.

My wife has bought a few pipes for me as gifts that I wouldn't have bought for myself -- my first churchwarden, an Oom-Paul, a Nording long-stem hunting pipe --that I've really come to like.

Even better!? Baris tend to go for over $100.

Pollocks of Manchester used to make a clay pipe in the shape of an acorn in a cup - it was cute as hell although I haven't seen any around in years!

Smoked 1 of my acorns, a no name, today. Best I can tell, the acorn shape is essentially a rounded Dublin.

That's what I've always thought about bulldogs.

@mso489 and I see what you did there

I was given a new Bari eons ago for Christmas by my wife's aunt, and it is a fine pipe, has been smoked a lot, and except for a chewed lower bit, looks about new. It's a fine Danish factory pipe, really nice.
