The oval shape of its shank is actually the element that distinguishes it from the Lovat and Liverpool pipes (the latter have a rounded shank, not oval). Rest assured that smoking a Canadian pipe is a real privilege! Indeed, its production is rare because it asks for the craftspeople to find an ebauchon big enough and of a good quality, allowing him to carve a long shank. When it comes to the proportions, it is often said that the shank has to be twice as long as the height of the bowl itself. Smokers greatly appreciate Canadian pipes because the smoke seems to be smoother in mouth thanks to the length of the shank. Generally, the Canadian pipe has the specificity to always have a straight silhouette (like a billiard), to possess a good grip and to provide an excellent easiness to smoke. Did you know?
