Has the Pot Shape Declined

[mso489]

Wow, some incredible pots here. Dunhill has been a faithful producer of the shape forever. I like the basic simplicity of the shape, and much can be done with proportion, finish, and little design tweaks, while staying with the fundamental concept.

I only have 2 pots, a BC and a Grabow, Im quickly learning that English blends tend to favor the pot better than my Billiards, Apples and Bulldogs, however those do fine. I recently have been looking for other pots but it is harder to find em, has any one tried searching "Pot Pipe" on Ebay, lord this world has gone mad.

Pagan, lol. I tried that a while back and my mind was blown away.

The pot is 8th most popular shape for those who log their pipes in the tool. And no I don't have a current way to track that over time - but I know that's what your thinking...

I favor English blends, but have never tried a pot. Thanks Pagan, I now have a reason to add another pipe.
