Anyone Else Not A Fan Of The P-Lip

[Lyle b]

Just got a new Peterson Tankard. It came with a P-Lip and I just don't seem to be a fan of these. I drool too much when I smoke them compared to a fishtail stem. Also, it is a damn site harder to run a pipe cleaner through them. Any suggestions for smoking a P-Lip or should I just replace it with a fishtail?

G'day, I got a tankard a little while ago with the plip, Thort I better give it a go but not impressed, not suited to the roof of my mouth and not comfortable to clench , dropped pipe one day , broke stem so while filing a new tenon decided to file away the plip and so filed back to the rib and now smokes like the pipe I was hoping for , spose if you could just buy a new fishtail stem would be the go but wasn't really an option for me but pleased with the result I got doing it myself , hope this helps

I can’t get past the way they look. I just can’t do it.

Some new pipe smokers have a problem with chronic tongue bite, and though there are various ways to overcome that without a P-lip, P-lip might be a way to overcome it until technique takes hold. Still, various other chemical burns of the mouth and especially the gums could still occur. Whatever works, I say. I like my one P-lip pipe, a change of pace, but I wouldn't buy another, as already noted.

it's actually short for penis-lip.. not peterson-lip as commonly thought.

My Petersons are roughly split 50/50 between fishtail and P-lip. I enjoy both. They each have their own merits in my book.

I kind of admire the pipe smokers who do mostly P-lips, except that it would limit the pipe brands or obligate me to have a lot of custom made P-lips. I really prefer a fishtail because it is less noticeable and bulky for me.

Hilarious. A silly gimmick that has been in use and popular since 1898.

No doubt....

I have one Peterson, it has a p-lip. I like it.

If I buy another Peterson, it will have a p-lip also. I have plenty of pipes with fishtail stems.

You can put me in the P-Lip Hater column. Apologies to Peterson, but the p-lip bit is just plain clumsy, uncomfortable, and hard to clean.

I like the p-lip for a change of pace, or when smoking multiple pipes at one setting

This.

My only complaint is that it is harder to put a rubber bit on it, but not impossible.

I prefer a P-lip on my Petersons but it's not a deal breaker. If I like a pipe I'll buy it regardless...

I have one. Not a fan. Once in awhile, sure, I enjoy it for something different, but I would never go out of my way to add another. Even the one I have was a gift.
