Nope. I fall in line with the majority having billiards one of my favorite shapes. But there is a discrepancy between a billiard just trotted out pro forma, and one designed with proportion, balance, and flow of design. A well-turned billiard looks in motion. I tend to favor the slightly smaller ones, lithe and easy to clench, though I have one or two heftier ones that I also enjoy.

Not generally my favorite shape, but I’ve seen some that are real masterpieces that I’d smoke in a heartbeat.
I should clarify that I thought the thread was about straight billiards. I like bent billiards quite a bit. Most of my briar pipes would be classified as bent billiards. The chunky Savinelli 616 being my favorite take in the shape.
