Does anyone make something like Paterson p-lip?

So the smoke doesn't go into the tongue like the fishtail

The Savinelli Dry System pipes have a similar thing going on.

Why not the original?

Why not the original?

Because it smells like shit brand new. Like antibiotics.... got 2 both smell the same

Buy a used one, they smell like tobacco.

Yeh... suck on something someone else sucked already. Good solution

There's a good chance you get the same from newly purchased. People often test draw pipes before buying. If purchased online and the buyer doesn't like the draw and sends it back unsmoked, it's still listed as new.

It doesnt do you much good in the US but if EU people are reading and intersted there are a lot of Vauen estates with P-Lips. I dont like them becuase the roof of my mouth is more sensitive than my tongue.

A estate from a reputable seller is well cleaned, don't expect a thrift store or garage sale pipe to be cleaned well.

I do almost all my own estate work. Its not rocket science.

I get that some folks are sensitive to the IDEA of an estate but Im a woodwind player and technician. Just like pipes there is a huge market in used and vintage mouthpieces (mostly vulcanite). I also customize mouthpieces. Im plenty used to the idea of just cleaning things and using them.

You can clean and sanitize an object very easily. You cannot clean an idea.

I think it was Brian Levine who said, “Do you use only brand new utensils when you go to a restaurant?” That stuck with me as a good parallel to estate pipes.

If you let them air out they'll smell fine. Or smoke them. I think it's just the bags they use on those cheaper Pete pipes.

And you can easily clean estate pipes. Most people on the forum have estate pipes.

If you don't want advice on the question posed, don't pose the question on a forum!

There's the Mark Twain solution; give the pipe to some waster for a fortnight to break in, get it back, change the stem. Fine with cobs, I suppose, not so easy with a Peterson.

Then there's the hypermasculine option.
