Intersting stuff. I like the 'v' shaped nick and nora's as well as an alternative to my oversized prohibition style champagne coupes for smaller alcohol forward cocktails. Will be hard to justify another purchase though.
I use the glencarins and the Riedel vinum (http://www.amazon.com/Riedel-Vinum-Single-Whiskey-Glasses/dp/B0000DC0ZN) whiskey glasses when I keep it straight. Glencarin for more reticent nose and the vininum when the nose is a bot overpowering.
