Thanks! Theres always another pipe haha
Man they killed it with the dark smooths. I wish they’d just use this in lieu of the heritage finish.
Awesome set, congrats!
I definitely wish they made more dark smooths!
Do like the dark smooth finish more than the heritage.
I understand & agree, but I remind myself the Heritage is exactly that recalling a time when a man had a few everyday pipes and maybe one FANCY briar finish. The Heritage I have found is great for an outdoor smooth workhorse.
I own Blasts & Rustic for same purpose, but I do enjoy the occasional smooth finish that I need not 'baby' when I am out & about or working in the shop & need to set it down in a hurry. 
Forgive the ol' history teacher in me stepping outta retirement. I found myself thinking on this a couple of years back on that topic AND lamenting how I needed more DS.
The Heritage is wonderful, BUT .... I DO LOVE those lovely Dark Smooths I own. SUCH a great Look 
I'm such a sucker - with SP EU still holding my Rua hostage and some concern over whether it will ever be provided, I was perusing SP last night and decided I'd add a dark smooth - the number just happened to be my birthday month and year, lol, either fate or a really, really weak excuse for ordering another 160th.I understand & agree, but I remind myself the Heritage is exactly that recalling a time when a man had a few everyday pipes and maybe one FANCY briar finish.

Good news is my PPN is arriving today and my other 160ths escaped the USPS hell of Olathe, Kansas and are moving again.
Heh funny story. I had a package coming from FL to NC but it spent a week in Olathe!
Wonder why they do so few Ioras to Ruas? I sorta prefer Iora personally

I was on the fence, then yesterday decided it’s a cool enough release at an affordable enough price that if they had my month/day or month/year number I’d go ahead and grab it (if I liked it).
I was saved from that expense, fortunately.
Here is a PPN 2025 POY number 87 of 105. I just broke it in with some Carolina Red Flake with Perique and about to pack it up for another round. Overall, it’s a nice little pipe and I love the cobble finish. I’m really disappointed in the overworked P-lip, but I’m giving it a chance. The upper lip just barely catches my tooth.
I see what you mean.
Mine arrived today.
I just double-checked, and it seems that it's a little bit "better" than your pictures.
It's shallow but:
It feels fine at first clench...
1983 Plip
2025 ppn. Still clenches okay though.

My PPN pipe(s) arrived Friday. I like them plenty. Smoking one right now. First bowl was a bit of the free Wintertime Reserve Professor that was sent with it.
Currently enjoying some Mac Baren Scottish Mixture from '23. It is a very NICE smoker.
Earlier in the year I had picked up a CP 8s Barley. I got to thinking yesterday
AND I have swapped out the stems for a different look with the B stem & Deluxe. It fits perfectly.
My very first Peterson System pipe was a 313 Rusticated (the old pineapple style).
So I now have a 7 day set of the 313/8 shape.
Yes, I REALLY enjoy that shape a lot. Many thanks to K&P / Laudisi. Year 160 was a GREAT one for pipes. To all of you in Dublin, I wish you many more years of success! 
be well..

After being terribly outbid on a briar circle Deluxe System today – does anyone here have one they would like to let go of?
Congrats to whoever won it - It was a killer pipe, but went way higher than I expected too.
