What Do You Like Or Dislike About An Oom Paul?

[mso489]

I don't need more than one Hungarian, but the one I have is a certain kind of perfection, as mentioned many posts above.

For years, it was one of my favorite shapes. But, when I started drawing comic books, I found it other shapes easier to deal with, so I don't smoke mine that often these days, and I don't feel the same about them as I used to. I did always like the fact that I can get a long smoke with one.

This time actually ON topic, believe it or don't: This is a pic of the New Dear KS that I'd mentioned so you don't have to depend completely on my description earlier --

Obviously it's the same basic shape that we know, but even though it's not a sitter it's not rounded & is much craggier than a blast or even a Caminetto Business finish. It's more rectangular than round, & the front is more flat than curved, even though it doesn't show well here.

Bill, that pipe looks like it was salvaged from a house fire! 8O

I'm curious: what shapes are those?

 

[leafsmoker]

Plain and simple. I just do not like the shape. Just like others are stating..

Train wreck, I think, but certainly close enough. Yeah, that's my baby. Probably my 3rd-oldest currently,

I enjoy mine for what they are - great pipes for walking the dogs or working in the garage.

My exact reasons for enjoying mine. Add a P-lip and it is perfect.
Dislike. Most OP pipes I see are big and heavy. I want light and appropriately sized for hands free usage.

Whew, that is one ugly pipe, Bill. I'm glad you love it and gave it a happy home.

Sounds like a description of my first high school girlfriend

:rofl:

 

[cigrmaster]

npod, yours are stunning.
I don't own any because I don't like anything full bent.

 

[mso489]

As with other bent pipes with sturdy shanks and stems, Hungarians travel well, fit tidily in pocket, and aren't slender or breakable in general. True, some may be a little too large for toting a lot, but the middleweights do just fine.

My Szabo Hungarian is actually from Hungary. Smokes a little hot if I push it, but makes a perfect clencher. It's my driving pipe. A little smoke may get in my eyes from time to time, but the pros outweigh the cons. Love it!

Okay, I can't remember how to post pictures from my album

 

[bnichols23]

Go to the album, double-click the image, then right-click & copy the image location. Paste to Notepad or whatever text editor you use, & remove the "662x337" or whatever just before the ".jpg" & then copy the resulting URL back to the clipboard. Then go into the forum message window, click the IMG button, paste in the URL, & hit enter. Add a tag or two & you're done!
