The Liverpool shape has two indivisible characteristics: a particularly long rounded shank coupled with a short standard stem also called tapered stem. The round shape of its shank is actually the only element that distinguishes the Liverpool pipe from the Canadian pipe (the shank of the latter being oval). Apart from that, they have the exact same silhouettes. Be assured that smoking a Liverpool pipe is a real privilege! Indeed, its production is rare because it asks for the craftspeople to find an ebauchon big enough and of good quality to allow them to sculpt a long shank. When it comes to the proportions, we often say that the shank should be twice as long as the height of the bowl itself. Smokers really appreciate Liverpool pipes because the smoke seems to be smoother in mouth, thanks to the length of the shank. Generally, the Liverpool pipe has the specificity to always be of a straight shape (like a classical Neogene), to be of a pleasant grip, and to be really easy to smoke.
