Favorite Shapes

[CherokeeBilly]

This has probably been done but here goes again. What are your favorite pipe shapes? Do you stick to one kind or do you have different ones to fit your mood? Personally I have mostly Billiards and Canadians. You just cant beat that classic shape in my opinion. I do have 2 bulldogs and have recently acquired a Poker. Man do I love that poker! My tastes have changed slightly but I do still favor the Billiard first. So what say you?

[lochinvar]

Rhodesians, Lovats and Dublins.

 

[cosmicfolklore]

Bulldogs and dublins. I have a variety, but I find that I just love the way a dublin with a conical interior bowl makes a Virginia stove as you smoke, and I love a straight bulldog for when I want to just bite down on that thing and get the job done while smoking.

 

[andya27]

I have two bulldogs. It may be my favorite shape. Just something about a bent bulldog or even a bent rhodesian.

 

[natibo]

Straight billiards, pots, lovats, apples and brandys

 

[CherokeeBilly]

I forgot about my Lovat!

 

[plateauguy]

Rhodesians and Authors.

 

[prndl]

i seem to gravitate toward the bent petes and the classic billiard.
as well, I seem to suffer from "tactile dysfunction"...all my pipes are smooth, not one sand or rust on the rack.

 

[warren]

Pretty much any traditional bowl that is bent to some degree or another.

 

[maxpeters]

Quater bent or straight bulldogs, and lovat pots.

 

[dryseason91]

Anything in the Canadian family, plus straight apples, bent billiards, bent bulldogs and Bing Crosbies (though I don't actually own any of the last two, just like how they look).

 

[sdcowboy]

Favorite is straight billiard followed by straight bulldog and poker.

 

[pruss]

Bulldogs and Rhodesians, preferably 1/8 to 1/4 bent. Also, Canadians and Lumbermen.

Ok, my number one fave is a straight billiard. But I have quite a few other pipes with shapes that fall into the classic shape category. Oh, then a few odd shapes, but nothing too wild.

 

[drennan]

I prefer straight pipes in classic shapes that aren't huge hunks of briar, I do have a soft spot for lovats, billiards and pots.
I really don't get the danish freehand style pipes, they just look unfinished and cobbled together.

 

[voorhees]

I like pretty much any pipe style, just as long as they are beautifully crafted.

 

[huntertrw]

Straight apple, billiard, and Rhodesian!
And, of course, this:

Nice shape, wouldn't you say?

 

[purplemotoman]

Mine are exactly the same as pruss. Great minds think alike. Please hold your comments.

"Nice shape, wouldn't you say?"
Hunter as you hold that pipe in your hand I'll bet I can guess where your index finger lays.

johnnyreb:
You could guess, that is if I actually owned that pipe, but a man can dream, can't he?
