[QUOTE="Sasquatch, post: 152388, member: 509"] Traditional "Oom Paul" pipes are named after Paulus Kruger, who was a fan of great chunky 90 degree bents. If you see these South African relics, they are really quite pronounced in the bowl and shank - utterly lacking grace! So I would suggest that this is your true Oom Paul - 90 degrees bent, or awfully close, with an obvioiusly bottom/front-heavy presentation. Present incarnations are few - Castello's 97 shape and Dunhill's "Hungarian" are pretty close, but they are built at about 70 degrees (making pipes with shank parallel to the bowl is really tough - it's very difficult to make them smoke well).
