Favorite pipe shapes

I was thinking about all the different pipe shapes and variations out there and I was wondering what some of your favorites are. Do you go in swings where all of a sudden you really like billiards then awhile later you really like Rhodesians.

I like billiards, lovats, bent apples, and authors (don't see them as much).

A big brandy and a squash tomato are nice too.

Those cutty's are a really interesting shape. I'm still on the fence about whether I like them.

Re: Favorite pipe shapes

I moved from bent billiards to danish horn and freehand then to straight billiards where I'll probably stay. Sandblasted or rusticated straight billiards, easy on the pocketbook and, more importantly, low maintenance.

Re: Favorite pipe shapes

Not so much a shape but a style; I officially have an obsession with nosewarmers! Anything short, stubby & chubby I dig! I can't get enough of them!!

I guess as far as shapes go, I guess I do have a tendency towards bent-brandy's, bankers/prince, volcano's etc.

Re: Favorite pipe shapes

The Dublin and the Poker!!!!! Also a nice panel billiard. But more so than the shape, I like nice thick walls and a large bowl.

Re: Favorite pipe shapes

Billiard/ Dublin / Apple: preferably bent (though I'll have to get a few straight pipes in my collection sooner or later!)

Re: Favorite pipe shapes

I like thick walled pipes - many shapes fit or don't. I have three bulldogs; two have nice fat walls, one does not (and smokes too hot with VAs). Rhodesian, similar shape, also thick walls. A couple of freehands that are just hunks of briar with holes drilled into them, love 'em!

I havent nailed down a favorite shape, but I do like smooth finish better.
