Captain's Cavalier

Would be a darker color or a tan blasted pipe to blend in, with a military stem for quick breakdown before battle.
Or
Airborne Apple,

Smaller bent apple, with a Peterson chunky flair, so it can withstand multiple jumps and parachute landing falls and klicks and klicks of humping through the bush in full battle rattle. In order to provide a few moments relaxation in the horrors of war.
Or what the heck,
Tolkien's Pot

Would be a straight Pot or just slightly bent Pot, with a cavernous bowl to hold all the baccy needed to follow Strider, Gandolf, and the rest through many adventures. Maybe have the White tree of Gondor on one side and the Eye of Mordor on the other. Anyway endless ideas with this one!

How about a Canadian Bacon. To be used for nice smoky Latakia blends. You could carve a swirl in the shank for the tail.

I scribbled out a Calabanse:

Amalthea's horn. A horn shaped pipe that will never run out of tobacco.
From the intetnet; One day, as young Zeus played with Amalthea, he accidentally broke off her horn. To make up for it and as a sign of gratitude, Zeus blessed the broken horn, so that its owner would find everything they desired in it. It became known as the Horn of Amalthea or the Cornucopia, an eternal symbol of abundance.

Congrats if you are still in the running. If at anytime someone is still interested in a shape that I've taken off the list, feel free to pm me. Many of these entries have really brought exciting designs into my imagination. I am actually pretty sad that I can personally only pick one for this game. Stay tuned!

My drawing of a Calabanse is not right. It looks more like a Cavalanse.

Some of your work previously seems to show an affinity for the forward canted smooth bowl that an Anse normally shows, if I recall..
