In my new and unrelenting PAD I've gone for British and Irish pipes. Here's my latest acquisition. A Peterson's Deluxe Made In Ireland Chubby 999. This one still has the bone tenon/condenser.

Elpfeife, I own three pipes with p lips (4 if you count my BBB Glokar with a version of the p lip) and at first it was odd but I actually like them now, although with 3 pre-republic Peterson pipes I'm not grabbing more. Great pipes, just at my desirable limit.
Lovely pipe, but the lyrics that start playing in my head when I see these Petes is Led Zeppelin, "A big legged woman ain't got no soul." Oh, and of course, "Oh, yeah, oh, yeah, ah, ah, ah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah, ah, ah, yeah."
But, it is a nice pipe. :

I scored a stem-less 999 DeLuxe bowl off Ebay for $18 about ten years ago, then made fishtail stem for it for free. :mrgreen:
How's that for serendipty? :lol:
Best of all, it is comfy as hell, and smokes like a dream. The small-ish, conical chamber is especially good for strong, slow burning tobaccos like fully rubbed out Dark Flake.

I just looked again at ashdigger's pipe, and realized it's the "fat shank" version of the 999. The one I posted was the tapered shank variant. (I have no idea what was up with that at the factory. You'd think different fraize keys would get different shape numbers.)
Anyway, bing the Peterson slut that I am---their classic standard shapes & finishes, anyway---I had one of those, too, so had to share with you other Peterson sluts. :lol: (This one did come with a stem originally, but I'm not a P-lip fan, so whipped up a fishtail for it also.)
Smoking-wise, it's a coin toss between the two. 999s are such lovely little things. :D
