What's In A Name?

[Fiver5]

I generally don't feel the need to categorize things like music or in this case pipes, but curiosity has got the best of me, what shape would this Blatter Montreal be called? Great smoker, comfertable to clinch, all around great pipe...

I'm not sure why this posted twice?...

Julius Vesz (sp?) makes pipes of that shape and calls it a teardrop. But call it whatever you want. I like 'em.

It seems be a Canadian theme then, I had another by Colm Magner (also a Canadian).

Hmm...maybe it's called a raindrop. Teardrop seems a touch negative, though poetic or something, for a pipe.

In my girl’s kindergarten class last year, their teacher taught them to distinguish between lowercase d and lowercase b as follows:

lowercase d looks like a dirty diaper.
lowercase b looks like a pregnant belly.

So depending on which direction you’re facing with that pipe, maybe you can go with that.

I guess if you’re upside down, it could be a q or a p. Pregnant pipe alliterates nicely.

Bulb? A tumor? Disconcerting lump? That's what I'd call it. Or maybe the biopsy.

Always good to hear from Dr PimplePopper ?

The only shape name I'd associate with the pipe is a ball. It is not a perfect sphere, but I don't think that's required. I have a Jerry Perry carved mountain laurel pipe, and that's how I would describe it, also bent. Your pipe is too spherical to be a tear drop, and I haven't heard the name applied to pipe shapes, but maybe that's just me. So to me that's a ball shape.
