Am I Missing Something With This Peterson?

[brut666]

As the title would suggest. I got a wonderful looking Peterson meer, it's apparently a 70s/80s p-lip.

I polished it up as the stem needed it. Had it a few weeks and only tried it twice but both times it just seems to sort of hit the roof of my mouth and sort of heat it up. I find myself trying to hold the pipe so the smoke goes around my mouth but that doesn't seem the point in having the p lip. Am I missing something?

Thats the whole point of a Peterson. They’re designed for people who are so tired of tongue bite and are willing to just destroy the rest of their mouth.
Sounds like it’s working just fine.

ha!

The p lip is a polarizing 'feature'. I'm not sold on it myself.

That’s why I don’t like plips.

PLip stems are designed to hit the roof of your mouth. If your mouth heats up you might be puffing too hard.

I have several PLip pipes and really like them. Some folks think they’re the scourge of humanity, right after Justin Beiber.

Gorgeous pipe!!

P-lips are wonderful things. Don't pull too hard. Let the smoke trickle into your oral cavity.

 

[warren]

In answer to your question, yes! The "p-lip", proper placed between the teeth, gently displaces the smoke to be fully tasted and enjoyed. Pay no, absolutely none, attention to the feeble minded who constantly disparage this wonderful innovation!

When I had a p-lip, I loved it.....but yes, it needs to be smoked gently!

? Thought as much. Don't think I'm digging this pipe then

No, my mouth isn't getting hot, I can just feel it hitting the roof of my mouth, not sure I like it.
Thanks thou, it is a pretty thing.

I'll give it ago, what's there to lose ??‍

I'll try it with an aromatic and an english with a healthy dose of latakia in it, if it's no good for me then, I'll be selling it. Not in to pipes I don't 100% love, same thou coz I do enjoy it, it's very comfy

You could get a new stem made if you really like that bowl. A non-Turkish meer bowl like that isn’t so easy to come by these days.

That's why I never purchased a plip before. The way I clench the smoke already goes to the roof of my mouth anyways. I don't get tongue bite I get roof rash.

Now there's an option I hadn't even thought of. Cheers for that ??

I think I must clench in a similar fashion to yourself. I will persist with it thou.

 

[ophiuchus]

People have different mouths, different teeth. Cadences vary, so do tastes. I like the P-lip myself. I like changing up how the sip is dispersed in the mouth. I also clench and hang pipes a half dozen different ways; I like how easily the P-lip hangs easily by the incisors.

It could well be, though, that the P-lip simply doesn’t work for you. Nothing wrong with that. Experiences do vary, as do pursuits and expectations. Too bad, though ... that’s a nice looking pipe. Maybe you can get a fishtail stem made for it by Peterson.

 

[BROBS]

Put it further into your mouth.

 

[weezell]

I'll buy it if the price is decent! Let me know if you want to be rid of it...
