If You Could Only Have One Pipe Shape For The Rest Of Your Life

Smooth Dublin (Lorenzetti):

 

[kaboom]

A straight billiard, without any doubt.

Bonus points for saddle bit and blasted finish.

I love the shape of a bulldog but there´s something about a classic Billiard that´s just right. I´d prefer a sandblasted finish.

 

[deathmetal]

Bent Billiard.

These look best with my rugged not-so-good looks, so I have to opt for this as well... plus just a classic shape.

Squashed Tomato, 1/4 bent.

Before I can answer this question, I'll be requiring further information. Why can I have but one shape? Who has made such a demand? How will this demand be enforced? When you say for life, you mean mine? I'll be awaiting your response at which point I'll be able to make a well thought out response to your question.

Medium size chunky thick-wall bowl/shank durable pipe such as the author shape. Sav 320 comes to mind. Unlikely to break if dropped and unlikely to burn through.

Poker nosewarmer. I don't have one yet. But I'm really truly obsessed.

If it's briar pipe, definitely canadian. In general, my number one choice is definitely gourd calabash. I can't survive a single day without my dose of Latakia in gourd bash.

 

[disinformatique]

The Dunhill Shape P, OX or 8 in a 4108 or 5108 rendition.

 

[gphenry]

Classic straight billiard here too.

 

[skraps]

Long, pencil shank Billiard... more commonly referred to as a Bing.

 

[fishfly]

Author.

But I'd need two finishes--smooth for smoking at my desk and some sort of dark blast for smoking while driving. I prefer the look of wood grain, but I'm too clumsy to safely handle a zippo with my hands on the wheel, and a Djeep is a lot easier on a blast than smooth briar.

 

[lochinvar]

Bent bulldog, rusticated from either Rinaldo or Castello.

billiard family - Canadian, Lovat, Lumberman, Liverpool

 

[foggymountain]

A slim billiard such as the Dunhill 4303.

 

[weezell]

Squashed Tomato, 1/4 bent.

Click, post a pic of that shape you like...

[ocpsdan]

A lovat with a saddle stem. Perfection.

 

[carbonmated]

Smooth, bent Dublin
