Straight Pipe Smokers

[jmill208]

I’m a straight billiard guy for the most part.

I almost exclusively have pipes with some bend. I only have 1 straight pipe nothing against them i just prefer the look and feel of pipes with bends.

This reminds me, I need a Hungarian for my collection.

Straight, bent, I like them all.

 

[PipesRock]

Although I can deviate, generally I'm attracted to straight Canadians, billiards and Dublins, and lovats.

+1 But I can also go for some 1/8 to 1/4 bent as well.

 

[autumnfog]

Prefer straight pipes as well.

98% of the pipes I smoked were straight.

I would like a Lovat but don't like tapered stems. Is that a qualification for the style? The saddle bit stem, not really tapered but worries me that its easy to break for some reason.

Yes sir, I do. Bent pipes.. Idk I have a few, but I perfer straight. Or maybe only a slight bend.

I like some of the frilly pipes, but I wouldn't own one.

Straight pipes == Sliced white bread. Good for what they are, utility, boring but get the job done. 1/8-1/4 bent sandblasts are the bomb, sexy, and are classic in their refinement.

I absolutely love straight billiards and Bulldogs BUT I love love love up to a 1/4 bent IF the bit is a well made one. I clench I don’t hold pipes while I smoke.

I’ve been known to experiment with full bents. The trick is the bit.

I don’t even mind Orific bits if there is enough material to “grab on to”

These couple of pics clearly show my preferences

 

[UncleRasta]

I own both but love and prefer a straight pipe.

First of all, nothing sexy about a pipe. Lets all agree on that. Secondly, a straight pipe is more like a baguette than a slice of wonder bread.

I like a pipe to pass a pipe cleaner. If it doesn't I end up smoking it a lot less. It can be like picking a lock at times, trying to get a pipe cleaner to make it to the chamber. I try to avoid inconveniences like that when I'm smoking.

 

[Recon Paul]

My best smoking pipe is a straight billiard. My most comfortable pipe is bent billiard. My best looking pipe is a bent Dublin.

Let me buy more pipes and get back to you.

 

[condorlover1]

Straight pipes!

 

[Old School 3319]

I only have one pipe that has a bend everything else is straight

I do not agree. My wife will tell me in a heartbeat if I chose an unsexy pipe. She don't like droopy pipes, fat legged pipes, nor pipes that just don't fit me. If she has to be seen with me, and I always have one in my face, then it had better be a sexy one.
It's rather obvious, with how many men chose Petersons, that many of you clouts just have no clue how to be sexy like me.

yes there is. Even if it's just because you've brought a perfect ice breaker with you. They yell at you about how you are giving kids cancer and then you point out that some kids want cancer and then next thing you know they're trying to marry you. The only thing that makes sense is if the pipe is sexy.

I am both a straight pipe-smoker, and a straight pipe smoker, but I like bent pipes, too. Especially for clenching, which is how I smoke 90% of the time. Other than “clenchability,” I don’t care one way or the other. Both can look good and smoke well.
