Just got an old XL999 Pete. There's a sting going out from the tenon. Looks like a syringe sting
I don't really like the idea of such thing protruding from the stem. Yes, it looks like a Dunhill inner tube, but much shorter (doesn't go all the way into the bowl).
What is this thing for?
Do I really need it? Is it okay to smoke this Peterson without it?
And yes, it is not so easily removed. I think it is stuck. So your advice is highly welcomed.
