Any Opinions on the Peterson XL 02 P-Lip

[oldmike]

Peterson Aran xl 02 Tobacco Pipe PLIP . Getting one for a present for Christmas from my son. I have a B42 I love. Any thoughts on the xl 02?

Other than I love the shape, no, because I don't own one.

I own three XL02’s, it is my favorite Peterson shape, seems like a terrific Christmas gift.

I have 1 Peterson and it is a xl02 Shannon system bought by former for Christmas in 2000 or 2001. I prefer and I am lucky to have the system,because I now use rubber pipe bits. I have it as a keep sake and still smoke it around Christmas every year. Enjoy! And it too is my favorite shape for the Peterson.

I like my Peterson pipes a lot, maybe a dozen of them, and I like an extra large pipe, though I don't used them as much as medium size. I have only one P-lip, a 999 Rhodesian, which I like, but I prefer the fishtail bit. The P-lip puts more stem in my mouth, so I enjoy the one I have but wouldn't buy another. Just to complete the comment, I have also come to value small pipes for various reasons mentioned in other posts.

Peterson P-lip is a favorite of mine.

I had to look it up and read about it. All I can say is it made me want a Pete again.

I've got a Peterson Newgrange Spigot XL02 and love it! The shape just sits perfectly in my hand and it has a decent sized bowl with nice thick walls. Not a p-lip though.

Nice pipe that! No other input, sorry! I will say that a B42 is on my to-buy list.

I, too have a Peterson XL02 and its a pretty good smoker. It fits my meat hooks quite nicely.

Thank you guys! I'm really looking forward to smoking this. Evidently no negative comments on the Aran line of Petes.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

My first "real Pipe" was a XL02. Still one of the pipes I go to on a regular basis. I like it. Mine is a red Killarney from the '90s. A bit unusual in that it is drilled as a System pipe.

Same as a System 302 which I prefer but the 302 is a bit big for me. I like the 303 or 03 pipe more.

 

[oldmike]

Except the 302 is a System Pipe and the XL 02 is not. I'm smoking a beautiful 302 as I type this.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I got an XL23 instead.
Even though I don't like smoking short pipes, aesthetically the steeper bend of the XL23 appeals to me more.

I have a Shannon XL02 with a fishtail saddle stem. I smoke it all the time. It is my most cherrished pipe. I'm even thinking about getting another. I just plain love it.
