[QUOTE="KevinM, post: 370761, member: 2318"] Wouldn't this be a great thesis topic if there were a Ph.D. offered in pipeology? I was once assured that bulldog got its name from the "collar" with no apparent neck. Well, . . . I have two Princes, and have seen reputable pipe shops describe them as "bent apples." I've heard the "billiard" = "stick" explanation before, bit can't help feeling a bit skeptical, though with no better candidate to offer. I used to have a wall chart of pipe shapes and many (most?) of the names were by no means self evident or, for that matter, even offered a clue to the curious. [/QUOTE]
