Club pipe?

I've been thinking about seeing if we can get a club pipe commissioned. Limited edition, classic shape and hopefully reasonably priced!
Does anyone have any preferences, such as: bent/straight, smooth/rustic?

If we can order about a dozen, Peter Ellam of Invicta Briars has quoted me a very reasonable price on something from his Classic Briar range, let me know if you have any preferences. He will be able to stamp the pipe with "EPC 2013" (giving us the potential to get a new club pipe every year lol).
