Do any other pipe makers use the P-lip mouthpiece other than Peterson? I like the way this directs smoke away from the tongue and I like Peterson's OK but, wondering if they can be found on any other pipes.

P-Lip on Pipes Other Than Peterson

I don't know about that, I have seen other pipe makers such as Grabow make stems that look exactly the same but do not direct it upwards. I am sure others also direct it upwards like the Petes do.

My Savinelli Dry System pipe is a p-lip design.

I've seen them on Wellingtons, Vauen, Grabow and Savinelli. There may be more but those are the ones I can remember.

Im not sure but I do love my P lip Pete. I always use it after I get a bit of a tongue bite. I feel like it is a lot easier on the tongue while I recover.

Article on P-Lip and its variants
You're welcome
"The fact is, squire, the moment a man takes to a pipe, he becomes a philosopher. It's the poor man's friend; it calms the mind, soothes the temper, and makes a man patient under difficulties. It has made more good men, good husbands, kind masters, indulgent fathers, than any other blessed thing on this universal earth."

Good info Mick.

I have disliked the P-lip since I started smoking a pipe 18 yrs ago. I have always avoided them but I do still have a beautiful Sav. Pot with a Cumberland stem, P-Lip. I try it about once a month and still, after trying it about 20 times, still hate it.
If at first you don't succeed, have another bowl.Posted 5 months ago # -
I have an estate Grabow that I'm going to work on that has the p-lip like Eric described above that doesn't face up. I can post pics, but after it's been cleaned...

Walker briar works sells a P lip bit for cobs. An economical way to find out if you might like the p lip bit.
I do like the p lip but it's not for everyone.

The old Wellington system pipes are really good in my experience (can't say anything either way about the current Baraccini remakes). You can always find a few of the old ones on ebay. All kinds of sizes, even churchwardens. I've got one that's about the size of a Peterson 317; it smokes great and only cost me around $40 after shipping. I bought my friend a churchwarden that he says smokes like a dream, but I have yet to try it myself.

My old Dr. Plumb has a P-lip.

Pioneer used a P-lip on some of their pipes also..I got a Peterson XL305 old style bowl at a CORPS Show one year. It had a P on the stem but it was more of a script P. Ordered a new Peterson stem for it. Seems like everyone made a knock-off Peterson System line.

I bought a nice Cromwell system from lonestar that has a p-lip. Cromwell is a Comoy's second, and this one is one of my favorites.

NSFisher, If your ever in the mood to trade or sell that Savinelli, I'd like to have a shot at it.

I have a Peterson House pipe with a black blast and a p-lip. It also takes a 9mm filter. Aromatics really give me tongue bite and this seems to be the only pipe I can comfortably smoke an aro in. I quite like the p-lip design, at least for this use if nothing else.

As noted here, lots of makers besides Peterson use P-Lips or similar variations of them.
All my Petersons have P-Lip stems.
While I won't exactly take out pom-poms and do somersaults extolling the wonderful benefits of the P-Lip stems, I like them well enough.

I think Walker Briar Works can make you a custom P-lip stem for any pipe.

Here's the Grabow with the p-lip I just restored. Nothing fancy, no new stain or anything, just a good cleaning. The hole is in the usual spot, not on the top like on the Peterson's I own...bad iPad pic.

Thanks for all the replies. I looked and looked and just picked up a Savinelli 2611 Dry System on Ebay for a pretty good price. Like I said, the p-lip helps with tongue bite, especially when I have time to smoke more than a bowl or two per day and the Peterson I have works great for the aros.

Just wanted to say thanks for this thread. The steck bit -- or P-lip, as it has come to be known -- is so closely associated with Peterson these days, I wasn't aware of any other contemporary maker that was using them. Good to know that Peterson isn't alone here.
