Show off Your Large Bent Billiards.

[tarheel1]

I am looking for inspiration and would love to see your large bent billiards. In 4 months or so after I finish my bulldog set these will be my focus.
Fixed thread title, please see rule number 9. Pertinent portion: Please capitalize words in the thread titles. Thank you, Robert.

My personal favorite shape!!
My first Peterson Dracula 68 this is the second pipe I ever purchased.

My first commissioned pipe made by Clark Layton. It is a oversized very large pipe and one of my favorite pipes! Smokes like a dream.

My second Dracula 68. I so love the Peterson shape 68!

Ooh! Bring on the pics! [grabs popcorn]
Peterson's 68 is one of my favorite shapes, so I can't wait to see all the other bent billiard interpretations.

My first pipe was a Peterson 68. I love the feel of it in my hand. It sure looks good in the dracula finish fordm60!

A lot of these look like brandy, egg or apple to me.

Here are some that are inspiring me.

I've got a few bent billiards, and I have a very large bent pipe by Ascorti, but I think it's more of a bent egg.

Any way these two are my largest bent billiards.
At the top is a Tinder Box Verona, made by Mauro Armellini. The lower pipe is a Comoy's second, Sunrise Amber Grain. Both are nothing fancy or expensive, but these see regular use as they are wonderful smokers, and I love the shapes.

Here is a bump. One of my Christmas gifts. Dunhill 5102 shell briar.

. Michael Parks, 8.13 inches long, almost 3 inches tall, my football pipe , lasts the whole game.

That's a nice pipe.

A pair of 68's

I guess that it's true that the 68 is a Brandy.

The next one is a group 6 Willmer AAA Straight Grain.

Why are you posting an eBay link to something and not a picture of your pipe? Feels like you are trying to promote a sale of a pipe.

This is my very first pipe which my then girlfriend, now wife, bought for me after high school graduation in 1973.

We were walking around a mall when we went into a Tinderbox. This pipe has traveled with me all during my military career and beyond. Maybe I should ask my wife to bury it with me =)

Here it is in our first roach infested apartment just outside Andrews AFB. Ah, those were the days...the best of times, the worst of times.

Pardon my stroll back in time, but that pipe holds a lot memories for me.
