I'm really happy to see this thread spring back to life. There are some really gorgeous billiards on display, here! Let's keep 'em coming!

 

[dread]

When I first picked up the pipe in the late 1980s I was all about bent pipes, but I have come to realize lately on my return to pipe smoking that the billiard is hands down my favorite shape and what I mostly get now, with other straights (Apple, bulldog) following closely. Great looking pipes gents!

Just hold on a couple of weeks, Pete, and I'll show you a straight billiard you'll never forget. :twisted:

Give a 1000 chimps 1000 blocks of briar and sanding wheels and you'll get 1000 freehands and no billiards.

Billiards are the testament to the hand makers craft.

Damn it. Now I need a billiard too. I really need to stay off here ...

Apparently (according to you guys that is) this is an old Comoy's offshoot. Found it at a thrift store for ~20$
