I understand everything you like about that pipe as most of mine are that shape as well ! But ... is the 614 shape considered a Hungarian/Oom Paul now ? It used to be called a full bent billiard. The Hungarian/oom Paul traditionally had flatter sides and shallower cut out above bend. Western pipe makers made the bowl more egg shaped than cylindrical. I ask because I seem to see everyone calling that a hungarian now and am confused. Congrats on the new pipe its a beauty !My newest acquisition, the Tortuga 614 Hungarian/Oom Paul w/cap. Fell in love with this one immediately. Smokes fantastic, and very light on the clench.

Thanks Chris! ?
That is very nice, T-townrestore!My latest pipe, a dark smooth 606EX Hercules. Had some store credit at TinderBox and said, “why not? One of your favorites is a 606KS, so it’s big brother should be twice the fun.”

Thanks Iron Monkey ! I should have checked there first but it was late.Savinelli says this on their site about the 614:
"Model 614 belongs to the classic Billiard style. As you can see, it is surely the model with the most pronounced bend."
The Miele also looks like a 616 but it’s hard to tell from that angle.View attachment 143335View attachment 143336View attachment 143337View attachment 143338View attachment 143339View attachment 143340
