My favorites are mostly old standards, except for a straight smooth Johs with a somewhat larger chamber. I like the Stanwell 32 so much I got two, a smooth and a silke brune. And I do admire the shaping on the Dr. Grabow Royalton with a slightly bent stem. I have a fantasy that that was done by a senior carver at Sparta, N.C., who did artisan work on the factory line, and is now retired, so we don't see new Royalton bulldogs anymore. Though I expect someone will pick up the mantle eventually. They are/were magnificently shaped. A Tinsky "dog" would be a wonderful pipe.
