Hello. Long-Time Oom Paul Hungarian Smoker.

Love the big bowl and the deep bend.

Welcome. I do as well and have 2.

I’ve been looking almost exclusively at Oom Paul’s for my next pipe. I really like the Briar Works Moonshine Pipe, and I’m hoping one made by Chris Morgan will turn up.

I’m a clencher and until recently I’ve thought that small pipes are only way for me to enjoy the pipe. But I’m finally learned that a well bent stem can be a good clencher, too.

Welcome to the forum from Knik River, Alaska! Not a big Oom Paul fan but I have one that I break out every now and then. I just don't like smoke in my face.

Welcome from Middle Tennessee! Great to have you

Welcome!!!

 

[Sonorisis]

Welcome!!! Those Om Paul's really hang well in the choppers.

 

[voorhees]

Not a huge fan of the standard shaped zoom Paul, but this freehand is pretty close and hangs perfectly.

Welcome from Arizona! Never smoked an Oom Paul but it looks interesting

 

[weezell]

Does this count...

Welcome from the SF Bay Area.

I'm mostly a straight pipe guy myself so those Hungarians are intimidating! I don't believe in knocking something I haven't even tried, though, so maybe I'll give one a try someday when my pipe collection gets a bit bigger.

Are oom Paul's typically heavy? I've never tried one. I think I would like the shape, but I tend to clench.

Hello and welcome from Seattle, Washington.

I hung back until my wife gave me a Sav Hercules Oom-Paul, and it was an immediate hit with me. The U-turn bend makes it exceeding light weight feeling, and the bowl is more than ample, deep and narrow, great for dry blends like Tabac-Manil Semois or Five Brothers, but many others and different kinds as well. Yes, sir, a good Hungarian is a fine briar.

Welcome @Pipe lover
Let's see some of those Oom Pauls.

My only Oom Paul is a Christmas gift from my father from about 1969. It's a Mauro Armellini made for Tinder Box under the Napoli marque (according to Pipedia.org). WOW, 50yrs. already!
I don't see many Oom Paul's with this brandy bowl shape.

Welcome to the forum! Would love to see photos.

I hate Oom Pauls, but love Hungarians.

"Uncle Paul" Kruger was a complete shit and doesn't deserve to have a pipe shape named after him, especially since no one has shown he even smoked Hungarians.

Rant over. You may now return to your regular programming.

Welcome from Australia. Not a big Hungarian fan myself, but I can see how it would provide a comfortable smoke
