I have only one lone bulldog, and it's quite unorthodox at that, a Russ Cook diamond dog, it's a great smoker!
There's a similar one up on ebay right now...
I have thought of adding more bulldogs, but can't ever seem to pull the trigger.
What I'm attracted to most is the facet bulldog or squat bulldog.
Poul Ilsted made the best facet bulldogs of all time,
but his pipes sell for big figures so that'll never happen,
but lovely to look at...
Manduela also does that particular shape to perfection,
but also very expensive...
Getting more realistic with Hermann Hennen, but still a bit pricey,
he does the shape great though!
...after looking at different facets all over, I finally found one in my roundhouse - and didn't pull the trigger.
Maybe if it was blasted I would have.
regardless, it's a pretty good deal for one of the handmade Bjarne's...
...coming in at exactly $300,

Most recently,
I very nearly came close to grabbing this Ashton with tortoise stem,
a good deal at $150,
if the blast was better I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat!
