Good grief. And we're expected to rely on this rubbish? Off we go to hell in a handbasket.
As for subtle differences in shapes, I suspect, my subjective opinion only, that the Peterson System Hungarian shape (Pub Pipe) is the ultimate development of Charles Peterson's original idea for a long lasting cool dry smoke. That being said, I now have a House pipe to begin comparison tests so my opinion might change,
Jonathan, do you ever get dizzy switching sides of the fence like that???
I haven't switched yet ! Just admiring the view so far ! I study as much as possible first before making broad categorizations, assuming facts, rushing to judgment and jumping to conclusions based on limited scientific data. I just want test a hypothesis to see how a house pipe compares to a Pub pipe where both chambers are similar in size but pipes are different shapes. At the end of the day it is what it is !
Ok folks, I need some help on this one....
This Charatan Executive has a long, oval shank with a saddle stem and at first pass should qualify as a Lumberman..... BUT it doesn't have the Lumberman bowl but rather an apple bowl.
What would you call it?? (I know someone will say "LumberApple").

I have one that I eventually just called a "blowfish cauldron," and yes, it looks as odd as that sounds.
Haven't really found a one size fits all shape that covers it. Fancy or Freehand is kind of a boring cop out to use on something this spectacularly... something, alright.

You and Charatan !! Charatan considered the Executive series freehands which makes sense for alternatives to traditional shapes. (AKA Arty ???)My go-to shape classification
I'll certainly not argue with Charatan!You and Charatan !! Charatan considered the Executive series freehands which makes sense for alternatives to traditional shapes. (AKA Arty ???)
