Ligne Bretagne Standard Shapes 11-15
|
 |
Bowl Height: 4.8 cm
Chamber Width: 1.8 cm
Notes: This is a cutty-like shape, almost like a clay in its bowl style
and lean. Despite the elegance of the design, the bowl walls are
actually nicely thick and a lot sturdier than many cuttys I have seen.

Bowl Height: 4 cm
Chamber Width: 1.8 cm
Notes: Whew! This one is a tough one. There will likely be very few of
these made as the shape demands a great deal of work in sanding and
finishing, too much for a minimal budget. It has always been a pet
peeve of mine when factory-produced pipes of such shapes were buffed
quickly, leaving obvious dark patches of unbuffed stain around the
shank and leaving bright edges with darker centers on the panels. We're
dedicated to doing a quality finish on these but it takes time, thus
the rarity of this shape.

Bowl Height: 5.3 cm
Chamber Width: 1.8 cm
Notes: An unusual, more fantasy-themed design which hopefully will be
luckier than its number! I expect that these will make a lot of large
churchwardens and other unusual pipes.

Bowl Height: 4 cm
Chamber Width: 1.8 cm
Notes: This is probably the most smokable, friendly shape of the set so
far, so I had to give it the lucky number of Bilbo Baggins. It would
likely be called an apple or a fat billiard - the bowl is
billiard-sized but with thicker walls and a chubbier look, making it
more comfortable to hold in the hand.

Bowl Height: 4.8 cm
Chamber Width: 1.8 cm
Notes: Our classic large bulldog. This is roughly a group 6 in bowl
size. We do have one bulldog that is larger yet, however. This one is
bigger and thicker overall than the #10 bulldog, with heavier walls.
The thickness of the walls should allow for some nice sandblasting on
these pieces.
