I like the plainer, much less adorned examples. I think all the energy and originality comes through better
than with some of the more elaborate tulip-like briars, which are interesting but seem visually bombastic.
You'd have to be some kind of grandiose orator and personality to live up to some of the more elaborate
pipes here. The more quiet ones, the tomato and what might be a stack seem impressive and expressive
to me.
