No no, this one's okay...just kidding. :lol!:

I've tried to appreciate the lines of the "acorn", but no matter what perspective I try to take, I cannot. It's the bowl/shank transition. I find it almost offensive in most instances.

 

[Storm_Crow]

I find the canadian to be pretty ugly.

Also, I WANT to like a sitter since they strike me as very practical, but I rarely like the look of 'em.

 

[alfredo_buscatti]

I have two cobs but I rarely smoke them. They're flimsy. I much prefer holding briar.

 

[MisterE]

I shall add the Poker to my list of least favorite shapes.

Another vote for (or rather against) pokers and cherrywoods here.

I know some people really love them, but straight pipes in general.

For me it's got to be bulldogs. MIKE

+1 that. I can't stand bulldogs, or calabashes.

This is an older thread, and looking back at the reply I posted last November, I'm somewhat taken aback by the non-committal, political correctness of what I wrote. What I really wanted to say was, "I don't care for military bits, hawkbills and pots."
There, I said it.
Except that I do like Castello's shape 55 pot.
Hmm...

Yes Oom Pauls are terrible, so are Falcons!

But, from the deepest darkest corners of the sick, twisted mind of someone at the Vauen company...

The one and only...

The Pipoo!

Pipoo?

Ewww!

If that is the future of pipe smoking, I'll stick with the past!

I like to think that I would be able to appreciate any shape done well--no discrimination here! However, I have yet to come across either a Horn or a Ducksfoot/elephants foot that I would own. I've seen some Former horns with amazing grain... And thought to myself: why did he have to use this block of wood to make a damn horn???

:cheers: We think alike sometimes!

 

[mooseisloose57]

My biggest dislike are carved animals and heads.

 

[Boulder]

I don't think I hate any pipe, (well maybe a hooka) but I do prefer bent stems.

Truer words have never been spoken. I completely agree.

...kinda with this school of thought...

On the other hand, though I'm so-so on bulldogs, I rather like the Poker syle and sitters in general. I have no doubt I will enjoy cob pipes, the "Patriot" model I will likely skip, however.

Every pipe has its own interest and charm, I'm just not sure all have a place in my hand nor in my modest collection.

 

[nograinsnotears]

I don't like Bulldog, Eskimo, pickaxe, Poker, skyscraper (stacked billiard) and those with bamboo or square shank pipes, and about 50% of all freehand (free-form handmade) pipes, although I like many asymmetric pipes as they are IMO very lively.

I never met a First Straight Grain Briar I did not like
