Pipe Shapes/Styles I "Should" Try/Experience

[warren99]

In my view every pipe smoker should own a Billiard, Dublin, Apple, Rhodesian, Bulldog and a Lovat almost forgot the Brandy. You may be asking why those particular shapes? Simple, they are my favorites and when a real artisan makes one, you know it. There is just something about the basics that makes me want them. I have no logical reason, just my particular tastes.

I don't do fish or whales or a plethora of other shapes. I like my pipes to look like a pipe and not some weird shape from a sci fi movie.

To those basic shapes, I might add a Canadian, a horn and a Zulu or prince.
