Finally, a Proper Bulldog

[sallow]

I got a proper bulldog, came in the mail today. A little bit wonky on the rim but light as a feather. I will smoke it tonight.

Embers, I think we found your next bonsai!

Something about a well-done bulldog stem just really appeals to me.

Stunning looking piece of pipe making art

Normally I do not like Bulldog shapes but that one is nice.

Nice bulldog! I like the look of some bulldogs more than others, but appreciate one with a straight tapered stem instead of a saddle stem for some reason.

Thanks, the pipe smokes well. It took me a while to find the small size in this shape, but maybe I wasn't looking that hard. It is about a group 2.

I have I think four bulldogs, a pleasing traditional work horse pipes to me. Some really don't like them at all, but that is true of most shapes. Two of mine are Stanwell 32's, probably large Group 3, both smooth, one silke brune and one smooth. Another favorite is a Johs with a bigger bowl, a large Group 4. I have more billiards and Dublins, but I like the bulldogs a lot. The (to me) slightly awkward shape gives it a relaxed sturdy look.

I love a good bulldog but the carvers hate making them.

Nice pipe with a classic shape. Happy smokes!

I have one bulldog, a Ropp vintage stout with horn stem.

Looks really clean, and I'm talking about the lines of the pipe as well.

Enjoy that beauty!

Nice! The bulldog shape is a pipe I love to admire. There is just so many opportunities for variation and expression.

Put in my hand for a smoke and it looses all appeal. Strange but true...
