Welcome from Seattle!
I would second what Chris Streeper suggested...Boswell. Also, you might check-out Peterson's House pipe line. Not huge, but good-sized.

I ended up finding a nice big bent pipe from Blatter of Montreal. I am so excited to rejoin the hobby. Thank you all for all of the great advice. As I said earlier, this is the most friendly and welcoming forum that I’ve visited in a long while.
Welcome Sir, and have my best Greetings to the great State of TX,

No! We decided to drive out to Lubbock to watch the Frogs play Tech. I have taken today off so I’m planning on going sometime this morning/early afternoon.
First three pipe purchases. I have the Savanielli in hand and have enjoyed several bowls of Irish puff!
1. Blatter of Montreal Big Bent
2. Viking 211
3. Savienelli Christmas 2021 626

Welcome from Spain!
I'm also a big guy but I don't think that pipes should match your size. When I started I also had that idea a bit, I thought big pipes would look better on me.
Instead I like small pipes a lot, they are easy to clench, bring around, they are super light, they can be smoked in a short time.
This one is around 3.9 inches long, I don't think it looks like a toy (at least to me):

G'day and welcome from Oz.
I'm not a little bloke - 6'2 1/2" 90kg - I've got a range of bowl shapes and sizes including small pipes like my little Dr Plumb Dinky [love that pipe]
Could not give a flying pigs arse what others think. [I'm the type who will take my MM cob to a formal function when wearing a suit
] Smoking a pipe is for my enjoyment first and foremost.
Little bowls are good for a quick smoke or for stronger blends.
Larger bowls are good for 'all day' blends.
Get yourself a few MM cobs with a hardwood insert in the base to get yourself started.
A Country Gentleman for example, is not a little pipe.
Or, you could really make a statement and get yourself one of these if you'd like to go BIG;
