Pipe Shape Chart - the best around

[deluxestogie]

Tobaccopipes.com has the most complete and definitive pipe shape chart I've ever seen.

Below the sections on basic definitions and silhouettes, there is a detailed history of each shape. It's quite an achievement.

The Oom Paul was named after Stephanus Johannes Paulus Kruger, a general and president of the South African Republic from 1883-1900. Oom, or “Uncle”, Paul pipes are also called Hungarian. Kruger was a famous fighter against the English during the Second Boer War and an avid chain smoker. South Africa, while known for their export of diamonds, was also a major player in the briar pipe market. It was for all of these reasons that the Oom Paul was named.
