Whose Is A Fan Of The Acorn Shape?

[cigrmaster]

Chasing I knew you were doing that it's all good. My Talbert is a work of art and one of a kind. No other pipe can compare. ?

Well there are acorns and then there are acorns. That tells you about the bowl but not the rest of the pipe. I recently bought a group 2 Wilke acorn, cute as a button, good for a short smoke.
It's about the curves. ( I always steered clear of women with sharp angles. )
Here is a link to what, for me, is an outstanding acorn, an Amorelli on thepipetart.com . Well I see the image is truncated. And posted 3 times. Arghh. The whole point was to see the entire pipe. If anyone can tell me how to do that, I'd be grateful.
Also, should I want to post a photo of my own pipe, where would I look to find out how ? Help !!

I got a small acorn and it smokes wonderfully...

I love an acorn and I think Neerup does them better than anyone.

 

[alaskanpiper]

My lone Neerup is an Acorn, and my lone Acorn is a Neerup...

The acorn is generally just a bulbous Dublin. I know some carvers don't make them with a conical chamber, but... I like the shape enough. Although, I don't own one, I have.

A little late to the conversation but since you asked; This beauty is on my (very) short list; Vauen Paris 241 Demi-Churchwarden.

One thing this thread illustrates is that acorn is one of the most widely interpreted shapes. It is possible to get that acorn look with an incredible variety of versions, and still have the broad top and tapered tip without veering into another shape, although I have seen pipes listed as acorn/pear. I seldom worry about how I look with a particular pipe shape because so little of my smoking is done in a social context, but I do sort of puzzle over how good an acorn would be with my snoot. If I fell in love with one, it wouldn't matter.

Another design Sixten stole from Grabow.

We...ell... Barling was making acorns in the 1940's, and possibly earlier. I'd assume that they saw this shape being produced by other British makers. It's been around for a long, long time. I own two of them.

Jeepers! Barling stole it from them as well?
