Shape Name for a Reverse-canted Bowl?

[Pipeh]

Title edited for caps and brevity. Original: "Is there a shape name for a reverse-canted bowl w straight stem?"

I have a few pipes that have a slight forward cant, like a cutty or zulu kind of shape. And if I smoke while working on something with my head facing downward, the bowl opening can sometimes start facing the ground. Usually nothing escapes, since the tobacco has expanded, but I think I'd like to try a straight pipe with a reverse-cant.

I think if I put a straight stem on a bent-billiard, that would be perfect. Is there a name for that kind of shape? Can anyone suggest an example I could see?

Kaywoodie called it a streamliner.

Oh, interesting, thank you. That's quite a chin on that thing. It's a good name - reminiscent of a streamlined locomotive.

But it's not quite what I was imagining - the opening on this looks parallel to the line of the stem, and I think I was picturing having the opening at an angle facing the smoker.

For what you want, it seems like you'd have to take a Bent Billiard and have a straight stem put on it.

Thanks,

I'm thinking I might try that - well, more likely I will try to heat up and straighten out the stem.

The word you’re looking for is “Elbow”

Yes, this little known shape is called "Ugly."

Pibe Dan has a straight stemmed stack billiard (chimney) with a backward cant.
Supposedly for ease of lighting
They call that shape “Reformed”
I’d call it “Deformed”.

Like a reverse cutty? Aka the “yttuc”

A vulcanite or acrylic stem can be bent or rather straightened with a heat gun.

You could also just put a wind cap on a straight pipe…

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Remember, married gents wives have shapes as well....

OK.
before I get beat up about it. Both pipes I posted have bent stems.

Look at the Hungarian shape or the tyrolean ... designed for hands free use. The bend in stem can be adjusted with heat to suit your needs. My unlabled cellini ($34.00) has a straighter than normal (higher angle) stem :

Maybe try one of these from Vauen :

You could maybe experiment with some cob parts to make a prototype. Cobs have the shank glued into the bowl, and they have a variety of stems to try.

For that just take a bent cob and put a straight stem on.
