[QUOTE="dshpipes, post: 149855, member: 1622"] In a thread concerning a BoB's acquisition of a beautiful Viprati pipe which has been referred to as a pot, the question came up: what makes a pot a pot? I decided to do some quick research and turned up this site on Pipedia: [url=http://pipedia.org/index.php?title=Billiard]click me![/url] According to Pipedia, a pot is simply a billiard with a short bowl. My understanding has been that a pot must have a bowl (the outside of the pipe as opposed to the chamber) whose dimensions are close or equal to each other in height and width. His understanding is that a pot must be a cylinder with straight walls. I think it's likely that we're both right and I'm interested in finding out what all the attributes of a pot really are. What do you guys think: what makes a pot a pot? [/QUOTE]
