I know, "parabolic". I prefer them for many blends but I don't know how to search for briar pipes that have them. They seem hard to find; i only have a couple. Is there an official trade designation or buzzword that I could filter searches with?
I'll chirp in and state that I've found I love the way my conical bowls smoke. Favorite thus far is a Dublin. It loves Peterson Old Dublin. Match made in heaven.

A woodstock has a forward cant with an apple bowl.

Hard to argue with a lighter, but my Comoy's shape 87 is described as a woodstock by them and looks like a zulu, and is called zulu by most sellers. IRC calls it a yacht/zulu. Picky picky. Anyway, it has a conic bowl. Since I started this thread, I started going through all my pipes and found 9 more generally ignored conic bowled pipes in several shapes. It could be argued I'm too lazy to rotate the collection. It is inarguable that I have too many pipes. Nope.
