My Bulldog and Rhodesian Pipes

[@AdMaiora2]

That black pipe looks like a Mastro De Paja... Great Artisan!

[@howdyhi99]

Thanks for sharing your bulldog collection! Weber made a pipe called "The Scoop" The shape is similar to the one you showed. That's a real fine collection!

[@The_Southland_Piper]

If you go back a few videos you will see the restoration of the biggest Weber. It is stamped with “The Scoop”. Thank you for watching.

This family is my favorite. Very nice collection of ‘em.

[@The_Southland_Piper]

Thank You. I really find them appealing. Thank you for watching.

[@micahdubas9454]

That first savenelli 120th anniversary with the light bright vibrant grain is beautiful 😍! Definitely my favorite out of all the ones you showed us. Thanks for sharing. I fancy large bowl longer shank bent bulldog designs. I know there aren't many in that category but that's why I avidly look around for them.

[@The_Southland_Piper]

Thank You. I like the anniversary pipe very much. Thank you for watching.

[@RLRism]

Nice, informative discussion and very nice pipes. Thanks for sharing!

Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching.

Beautiful pipes! The Rhodesian/bulldog may be my favorite style. That faceted northern briars you have is one heck of a special pipe!

[@The_Southland_Piper]

I really like the Northern Briars pipe. Thank you for watching.

[@Nighttrainpiper]

This is a question similar to Balkan vs English vs Scottish. I wouldn’t consider the square stem to be definitive because I have square stem pipes that definitely are not bulldogs. For me it’s the look, straight stem, squat bowl (lines or not), and I have to want to call it a bulldog.

[@The_Southland_Piper]

Absolutely, I agree. Thank you for watching.

[@carlarthur4442]

Very nice collection, like the custom built , and the Savineli very stylish 👌 😎

[@The_Southland_Piper]

Thank you very much!

I use a Peterson bulldog diamond shap Bent stem. I use almost every morning.

[@The_Southland_Piper]

Peterson makes nice bulldog pipes. Thank you for watching.

[@GordonHK]

Interesting video. These are shapes that I gravitate to as well. Trying to classify the wide variety of variations that occur in these shapes (and many pipe shapes, I suppose) can generate some fun discussion. Like you, I don’t have decades of experience, but I do think of a diamond shank as a bulldog and not a Rhodesian, whether bent or straight. An interesting variation is Matches860’s favorite, the Savinelli 673. Bulldog? Rhodesian? Related, but not truly either? Savinelli on its site describes it as a bent Rhodesian, but the shank is not round. As long as the discussion remains friendly and fun, it’s a positive for the YTPC. Thanks for your video!

[@Alamopiper]

Thank you this video. I have always what were the differences between a Bulldog and a Rhodesian.

[@The_Southland_Piper]

@@Alamopiper You are welcome. Glad you found the video useful. Thank you for watching.

[@dartusi_galgos_italianos]

Hello, Thanks for your videos. What I understand for bulldog is a shape of the bowl that when you look from the front makes the silhouette of a bulldog head: small top, wide on the eyes and triangular jaw. The Rodhesian was originally designed for an entrepreneur colonizing old Rodhesia in Africa. The squat bulldog looks very similar to the Rodhesian. I used to think the square shank defined a bull dog, but now I think is rather the bowl shape. I personally prefer over all shapes the squat bulldogs .

Great vid! Everything I've ever read claims the diamond shank is the sign if a true bull. All said Great Collection! 🙂👍

[@The_Southland_Piper]

Thank You. That is what I’ve decided makes a Bulldog. Thank you for watching.

Badass collection bro. The Bulldog and Rhodesian are two of my favorite shapes. Thank you for the informative video and explaining the differences in the two. Happy Smokes! 💥👊💨🔥💯

[@ukpipeandcigar]

The shank is the most important determinant of wether a pipe is a bulldog or a Rhodesian, regardless of wether it is bent or not. A diamond or mostly diamond shank is a bulldog, a round shank is Rhodesian. At least that’s what we use in the UK

[@The_Southland_Piper]

I appreciate the comment. I can’t argue with your view of the pipe shapes. Thank you for watching.

[@johnwalker91]

Fabulous collection for me square shank is a bulldog like most pipes there is variation I don't put a label on them I'd buy a pipe because I like it thanks for sharing take it easy

[@The_Southland_Piper]

I agree, you can call a pipe by any name as long as you are happy with it. Thank you for watching.

[@braydonsteuck]

I am just starting out in pipe smoking and have really enjoyed your videos! What is that Peterson that was in this video? I like that one a lot! If you have it and ever want to part with it let me know! Thank you for great informative videos! God bless!

[@brianquilty687]

Ok, I have what I consider Bulldogs and Rhodesian. As far as I'm concerned, if the shank is a diamond shape, bent or not bent, it is a bulldog. If the shank is oval or round, then it's a Rhodesian. Great collection Tim.

[@The_Southland_Piper]

I agree with your definition. Thank you for watching.

[@3stringpiper951]

Well done Great collection, yes indeed these pipe shapes are very subjective.. I tend to define pipes with sharp linear shapes more as a bulldog , and soft lines Rhodesian..I have one small bent round shank rhodesian....if you like these shapes check out the " Cairngorm " shape by Mike Billington of Blakemore briars

[@The_Southland_Piper]

I’ll have to check out the pipes you mentioned. Thank you for watching.

[@3stringpiper951]

[@srwarehouseman]

Great collection Tim! I’m curious where you source pipes for restoration. Also, if you have an outlet where you sell? As for defining shapes I’d say the creator gets artistic license. Thanks!

[@The_Southland_Piper]

Thank You. I get and sell pipes on eBay. Always on the look out for estate sales. Name on eBay is Smokin-Pipe-Deals. Thank you for watching.

The Savinelli with the (R) is a Roma

[@The_Southland_Piper]

Thank you for watching.

[@dartusi_galgos_italianos]

No, I thought the same but Roma Sav Is diamond shank and no lines in the bowl, I cannot identify it.

[@PaladinPiper]

You got a bulldog collection that Rhodesian ridgebacks will be jealous of! (hahahah doggie joke) 😂😂😂

[@brianquilty687]

I caught that joke Pat. I know a lady who breeds Rhodesian Ridgebacks.

[@8ita]

In my humble opinion, if it has a diamond shank I consider it a bull dog. Hope you're doing well.

[@The_Southland_Piper]

I think there is no right or wrong when defining a pipe. Mist important thing is if you enjoy the pipe. I’m doing ok. Thank You for asking. Thank you for watching.

[@claygreen4723]

I would rather have a $5 no name that smokes well than a big name that burns hot or won't stay lit. What are the stem protectors called and where do you get them?

[@The_Southland_Piper]

My best smoking pipe only cost me $28. I got the softy bits from Amazon. I’ll post a link. Thank you for watching. www.amazon.com/BJ-Long-Touch-Mouthpiece-Rubber/dp/B07J2RKW69/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=BJ+Long+Soft+Touch+Pipe+Mouthpiece+Stem+Rubber+Bits+-+50+in+Each+Bag&qid=1701539803&sr=8-1

[@PiperCalvinist]

I call it a bulldog if it has a straight diamond shank, and a bent bulldog when it has a bent diamond shank. Rhodesians have round shanks. Also the bowl needs to have a diamond-like profile or it’s neither.

[@The_Southland_Piper]

I agree. Thank you for watching.

By far my favorite shapes are the Bulldog and Zulu and the lines in the definitions are so blurred I'd say everyone is right and everyone is wrong
