That's a nice version of that chart. Pipedia has one that's clickable, leading to a page that talks about the shape. https://pipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_Shapes

I love that chart and used to reference it on a regular basis when I went through a pipe purchasing frenzy.

I tried to get one of each shape.  Now I don't care to much as I have a few go to shapes but if its the right price I can't say no.

Judging by the chart it appears the majority of my pipes are Rhodesian, Apple, Bent Apple, Calabash, Egg, Freehand, Bent Billiard and Bulldog. With the Rhodesian shape being my personal favorite - so more pipes in my collection are closer in shape to that style. Although I do have a variety of others on the chart.

My one and only pipe so far is a bent billiard. Excellent post. Thank you. I'm a newb and never imagined there were so many.

Bent apple or bent egg seem to be my favorites
