I just hope, they will not be green as Xmas'23 become.What do you guys think of the 2025 Christmas Pipes? As an owner of a gorgeous 2024 Christmas Pipe I have to say that I'm underwhelmed with the 2025 versions?

Arrived!
No YoP hallmark, but the pipe was made after 2003.

Gorgeous Pipe! I have never seen the shape, how does it compare to an XL15 or the 80s? Also please let me know if you ever decide to part with it
I have no Sherlock's bulldogs, but 80s, indeed, smaller than XL81.
Just got my POY in heritage...#121
Looks good! I do wish they still offered a dark smooth stain to sit between this and terracotta.
When it comes to Petes - pre 1990 system Premiers are one of my favorites.
This new addition is extra interesting, because of the discontinued shape and of course it's age.

Always loved the 308s. Still have one, but they hard to find these days on the estate market...
Oh what a beauty. Thats the next best shape compared to the 314.
I agree and although ithe 314 looks a bit "standard" or unintriguing, it is a big contender for best pipe shape, at least in my books. Here are my two 314s a pre 1968 Premier and a 40s
system 3
I have two 317s. One was my Ulster grandpa’s and the other is fairly new. They are my only bent Peterson’s. The rest of my pipes are 1/4 bent or straight. The problem with the 317s is that when I’m clenching and exhale through my nostrils I blow ash and embers all over my lap, damnit. Is this why my grandpa’s tweeds had burn holes everywhere?
Anyone else have this problem?

I would if I wore tweed!
I feel as if I’ve arrived.
2024 PPN POY 309 SSB-P
I had literally just been looking at the PPN blog on the ‘24 POY release for about the thirtieth time, then perused the ‘bay for 309’s before I clicked on the forum and saw it’s ad here-four days to cross the pond and clear to here.
I told ya my next Pete would be two favorite colors: black and chrome
Grateful every day.

But I’m glad my God is one of Grace, and grateful for all I have-this stuff is but sprinkles on the icing on the cake.

Arrived? You need higher standards.
Currently giving it a spin, and must say that while not uncomfortable, the bite zone has nothing on the old guard…
The condenser is nice, and I really like the shape.
It’ll do nicely until a proper period Dutch billiard and I can hook up
