I was following that briar circle Pete, too. I think it was Dan Chasin that had recently posted something about a similar pipe in his collection, possibly in the PSOI group. It’s definitely cool. The photos by Chance Whittamore (greatestatepipes) always seem somewhat oversaturated and with lots of added contrast, but pipes you buy from him are restored to as close to new as is possible. I can highly recommend him.

Man they killed it with the dark smooths. I wish they’d just use this in lieu of the heritage finish.

Awesome set, congrats!
Same. Before the Heritage finish came out I think Dark Smooth filled that spot as the lowest end smooth.

It seems like they figure the stummels that were set for Dark Smooths were either good enough to become Terracotta (or maybe even Natural) or not good enough and so became Heritage.

The prevalence of the Heritage finish and the scarcity of the Dark Smooth finish also suggests that the latter costs a lot more to create.

My guess is that the heritage stain hides grain imperfections and fills much better. The dark smooth over time creates a very nice contrast.

Just purchased this pipe since I was wanting a chubby. It’s a PETERSON DUBLIN & LONDON CHUBBY 999 JOHN BULL. Can’t wait for it to get in.
Just curious what would you pay for this pipe? Didn’t really have anything to compare.

Looks like a great example of the shape. Post some better pictures once you have it in hand.

From the Turtle in the picture it looks like you purchased from our very own @Dshift . He does great work!

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.
And here's mine, also very shallow on top. Not at all like the other new ones I've gotten recently.

Sure is looking "sketchy" on that upper shelf. But the pipe is nice.

Looks pretty close to mine. After a few sessions I’ve found it to be perfectly comfortable and I’ve yet to lose my grip when clenching.

As far as smoking performance, this pipe has it. I was nervous about the wall thickness of the bowl, but it was all for naught. It’s kept cool and dry from the first bowl.
