2015 BOTL Pipe - General Shape Discussion & Poll (Final)

[plumber1965]

I really like the author shape. Sav 320 is a great looking pipe. I feel the artist could "tweak" an author to give us something Cool.
I do like the devil ansie also. the tilt of the bowl give it real character

 

[crperkins]

Rhodesian or bulldog.

 

[cgraunke]

Rhodesian or bulldog.

I really probably should have combined the two for polling purposes, huh?
So, Cody, do you draw the definition between the two by shank shape or by stem bend?
I seem to find discussion going both ways, but most fall in to the Rhodesian = Round Shank; Bulldog = Diamond Shank camp.
I find both to be equally attractive, depending on individual pipe design...

 

[crperkins]

Someone may disagree with me but in my opinion the difference is in the stem and shank shape between Round and Diamond.

 

[Whtwtrman79]

Did I say devil Anse......

This is probably my favorite representation I've seen

Though I keep looking for more

I love the two tone

 

[K Williams]

I voted billiard, bulldog, or Rhodesian.

 

[Whtwtrman79]

Cutty/devil Anse all the way

 

[King Kill 33]

Yeah, I still think that whole thing got swept under the rug WAY too easily!
@King Kill 33 got in on one of the original pipes, and also managed to get through the "Newbie Pipe Trade" without drawing too much attention to himself...
You find some enjoyment in the pipe yet, Doug?

You guys posted a pic of one of my Joe Case pipes- a devil anse! I love it. Joe Case, Brandon Brooks and Eric Gainey mastered the devil anse

 

[Angry Bill]

Cutty or devil anse has my solid vote. Wanted that one last time., lol. No on the poker, as it was the 2014 pipe basically

I love that I'm not the only one not wanting to see repetition through the years! (at least not within a 2 or 3 year window, but minimum no back to back)

 

[thedismaltrade]

It's about a 1/4" longer stem now. I had him remake it.

That's a great looking pipe.

 

[cgraunke]

That's great, Zack!

With a change every year, it will make each year special imho. I treasure my 2014 pipe and look forward to this years pipe. I'm proud to show it off.

Btw, wasn't on the past few days, as no internet until late last night. Good to go now at my daughter's place.

 

[cgraunke]

Yeah buddy!
