[QUOTE="Idlefellow, post: 524435, member: 598"] Many years ago I was enamored with unusual shapes, "freehands" and the like. In fact, the more unusual, the better I liked it. With age that pretty much went away, and so did the pipes. I still have one or two that were special gifts that just can't be disposed of, but must admit they seldom come out of the rack. And I still have a few pipes that drift a bit - but not TOO far - from the traditional in terms of shank or bowl shape, etc. Beyond that, anything other than traditional shapes leave me completely cold. But I do like oval, square or diamond shanks, and as for stem/shank enhancements, well, a nice Peterson with a sterling band is one of God's gifts to pipe smokers :D . [/QUOTE]
