My favorite shape, the bent billiard. You could have the largest pipe you have ever seen, and still have it hang like there's nothing there.
This is my Peterson Pub pipe. Very big, very bent

I only have one that I would consider a large bent billiard.

I prefer smaller (Group 3-5) pipes. So while these may not be considered large by most, they are MY idea of large

I like your wheel of awesome. Bent Billiards are great looking and very functional.
That’s a big beautiful billiard!
Sasieni Two Dot 56 SXS. It kanda’ stands out in the rack.
Okay… you gotta tell me…who the hell made that! Beautiful!
Here's a few of mine:
Peterson Pub Pipe with 22.5mmx51.5mm chamber:
Unlabeled (believed to be a Cellini Original) Hungarian with 20mmx50mm chamber
Barontini 1/2 Spigot 20mmx52mm chamber:
Barontini Gran Duc 203 (below 1/2 spigot) 20mmx55mm chamber (my largest)
I'm including this Erica (Peterson Second) which I believe is a second of a Hand Made. While the chamber is only 22mmx42mm - the bowl is 60mm so theoretically I could drill another 9mm down and still have 9mm at base. The bowl should have been 63mm average but I believe they hit a pit and cut off 3mm and didn't finish the pipe drilling. Its my favorite pipe of all my pipes and really the only one I would need. It came with an orific bit too:
Butz-Choquin Fait Main Calabash Extra Junior 22mmx50.5mm - This pipe has thin walls and gets hot unless sipped super slowly which is a common complaint of this pipe.
I also have a Comoy London Pride 215 with a 20mmx52mm chamber but I don't have a picture of it handy.

You are right! Mea Culpa, I shouldn't have added the BC Calabash. The Hungarians are considered a sub-category of the Billiard.
