Favorite Shape

[surfmac211]

What shapes are yall a sucker to buy every time you see one presented well?
For me its a Prince/Apple shape, which I never see too many of anymore.

This is my Dunhill prince that I love. Great little flake pipe too.

I like shapes. Shapes are good when it comes to pipes. :lol:

I like Volcanos, Pokers, Apples, Bulldogs, Calabashes, and free forms.

I really don't have a favorite shape, I buy a pipe if I think it is a good pipe and speaks to me. You know things like: "Lawrence... Lawrence... C'mon you know you want to buy me.... She'll only be mad for a week or two...."

I really like the bent dublins and I really want to get a bulldog and another style--the "hanging ardor" if anyone knows that one. I have seen it on Youtube and it has a huge bowl and literally hangs from the mouth.

I am a huge fan of the Danish Freehands, but for traditional I would have to go with a beefy bulldog

 

[bubbadreier]

I love bulldogs and any variation of the bulldog shape... I am also growing fond of the author shape or at least I think that is the shapes name!

 

[unclearthur]

Any shape with the famous P on the stem .

 

[bjeorn]

danish freehands, bulldogs/ rhodesians e.g petes 80s and soon to be the proud owner of a poker :mrgreen:

I'll second Bjeorn's choice, the Pete 80s bent bulldog. Without a doubt the most comfortable pipe I've ever held

-- in mouth and/or hand. Here it is with the Donegal Rocky finish:

Woohoo nice 80s cortez its on of my favorites too. Heres mine. Its the 2010 St. Paddys day 80s.

Bulldog, Dublin, Prince, Calabash, and free hands. In that order. Straight and bent stems.

I'm a sucker for Pokers and Lovats.

 

[buckeye]

looking at my pipe collection i must like all shapes. but pokers catch my eye.

For me it's has to be the bent billiard as epitomised by this Pre-Republic Peterson Supreme 69.

 

[hilojohnny]

I am a complete sucker for many shapes....(I'll stick with pipes for the sake of this thread)...the bulldog, rhodesian, graceful bent and stalwart straight.... :D

 

[unclearthur]

In all seriousness. I seem heavily drawn to Rhodesians like the Peterson 999

 

[fred]

For me, the Horn and the Bulldog have always been favorites

for the classic shapes. Just the same, I also enjoy the Poker

and the Rhodesian.

 

[jcsnaps]

I am a lover of Danish Freehands, especially Preben Holm. Sometimes the wierder the more intriging to me.

 

[bubbadreier]

Now that Fred mentions it, I do love the way Horns look, but I hate the way they smoke!

Reminds me of summer time....

Usually I prefer the 1/4 bent Bulldog shape, but I have to say that after handling this Caminetto, I think this is my new prefered shape. I don't know what it's called though.

It appears to be a 1/4 bent billiard, but it's a setter. The shank is square and the bottom is slightly upswept. The stem is avarage 1/4 bent, maybe a little more.

All in all, it fits the hand extremely well. It also hangs from the mouth without a lot of forward weight.

The circumference of the bowl just fits between the fingers so well, that I find myself just setting and holding it sometimes.

It is the "Duemila" that came out to celebrate the year 2000. What a wonderfully executed design. Needless to say since it is a Caminetto, it smokes great also.
