What's your favorite pipe shape?

Boy Bobby... you sure struck a nerve with this one. I'm sure everyone if sitting and thinking it out before they leap to the keyboard. Either that or the whole bulldog/UGA thing scared everyone off.

Fact is I have five bulldogs and I smoke them regularly; four are straight (Peterson, Amphora and two Sasieni 4-dots) and one is half bent (another Sasieni 4-dot). What you said. They're solid, perfect in the hand (as Root said - where IS the Rooter? -) they are the original ergonomic design) and no BS.

I seem to have one of everything else - like them all I guess.

I like the apple with a slight bend, Bjarne makes some that perfectly exemplify this

Gotta love a nice pup . . . be it a bulldog or a rhodesian. I own a few and a couple of them I didn't dedicate to latakia blends, so they are still in my regular rotation....lol. Fine smokers, the lot of them. My favorite pipe, bar none, is a '68 Dunnie bull. (Thanks Chad)

That being stated, it's not what catches my fancy as of late, when looking for PAD satisfaction. Rusticated billiards seem to grab my attention lately . . . slender, simple and sleek . . . as well as many of the slender, flowing shapes of many of today's high end carvers . . . most of which I cannot afford.

Man cannot live on bread (or bull) alone . . . such is the alure of the hobby.
