Who has one and actually smokes it?
No judgement here. Just curious about how many people smoke them. That is all.

I have two and the only one I smoke is a Savinelli Oscar Lucite. The other one is too large (didn't realize it until after i received it).
My wife gave me a Savinelli Hercules Oom-Paul one Christmas and it is in regular rotation and gets smoked about as regularly as my other 91 pipes I'd say. It has nice draw, hangs very light on the jaw, and has a good deep bowl for burley blends like Semois, Five Brothers, and Old Joe Krantz. It wasn't something I had in mind to get, but I'm glad to have it both as a gift and as a pipe. It's a good size and weight and handles well.
I have ten, and from the late 1970s until the mid-1990s, I constantly smoked them. Now, they are occasionals, mainly because I prefer a smaller pipe when I work or walk. Since the virus hampered my work, I've been smoking them more this year.
I've had a few over the years, but now only have one, a sandblasted Roadtown pipe. The best smoking Oom Paul I've ever had.
I have two Hungarians that I smoke in the overall "rotation". I detest the name "Oom Paul".
I hated them. They're ugly and unwieldy as well as never passing a pipe cleaner... Then I picked up a Sasieni "Oom Paul" for a ridiculously low price. I meant to flip it but found myself smoking it regularly. I'd post a pic but I have it in storage due to being constantly on the move for the last year. A good one hangs perfectly and you can clench them without thinking. When I get it back, I'll be smoking it regularly again. Oh yeah, it passes a pipe cleaner...
Understood when you realize the hateful brutality of the man they are named after.
Have 2. Only certain Hungarians attract me as opposed to the shape itself. Though do love deeply bent pipes. My favorite pipe is a Hungarian-the 2015 Peterson Founder's Edition. If I ever buy another pipe, likely it will also be a Hungarian-the Peterson pub pipe.
I have four Briarworks C151XLs. I like them, but they’re too tall and touch my collarbone when I clench, and I’m a habitual clencher. I ended up favoring my Moonshine Cannonballs more due to their shorter overall height.
I have a Rossi 8614 Oom Paul that I dedicated to Aromatics and smoke regularly. Looking to get another Oom Paul maybe a Moonshine or Briar Works. I like deeply bent pipes for clenching while driving or riding bikes.
Mine is an Il Ceppo. It belonged to a friend who, a couple months ago, passed away from a long battle with Parkinson's. He had his pipes sold at the B&M before as he had given up smoking. I walked in, recognized it as his, and slammed down my wallet. The proceeds of which went to charity, knowing him. I smoke it about once a month.
I had two of them but I like to sit in a recliner when I smoke and they were a PITA. Sold both of them to people who would enjoy them.
Is this an Oom Paul? If so, I have one and smoke the hell out of it.
I guess if the carver called it one it is, but I wouldn’t call it that. Most Oom Pauls have a shank that is parallel or almost parallel with the bowl, which is usually pretty cylindrical. But pipe shape definitions can get as loose as tobacco genre definitions sometimes, so... ?
