My First Canadian (Yet Another Altinay)

[Chasing Embers]

Yep, lumberman.

"The Lumberman is yet another part of the Canadian family of pipes, a sub-style of the Billiard shape. What differentiates the Lumberman from other pipes in the Canadian family is that the Lumberman has an oval shank with an oval saddle stem."

I submit it's neither a Canadian nor a Lumberman. The ratio of height of bowl and length of shank should be 1:2.

Long-shanked billiard? ?

I deem it a lumberman because I factor in the bit into the ratio.

 

[Chasing Embers]

No, they do have some that are designated XL. The newest one listed on their site right now is an XL spigot.

Oooooh! That one may be going under the Christmas tree for my wife.

OK, but you deem wrong.

That may have been true at one time, but I submit there are many Canadians with their bowls and shanks out of whack these days.

Not the pipe's fault nor the definition. Too many makers are cutting corners. Too many sellers try to trade on nomenclature that is wrong.

But I didn't hear anything. ?

These fora are silent.

I was attempting humor with a double entendre.

Better?

I know that you believe you understood what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you read is not what I meant.

I see it now, but obviously didn't click with the double.

Maybe I should just call it an Ontarioan.

For some reason those long-shanked pipes in the Canadian family always bring the word "stately" to mind. I have several, and they always have a pleasing traditional look about them.

Lovely and absurd thread.
