I just got my first Peterson and I absolutely love it. It took me weeks of deliberation and research to finally decide on a new pipe and it hade to have certain specificactions. It had to be lightweight and not overly large and it had to have a filter. The P-lip I found intriguing so I decided it also had to have that. This limited the Peterson range considerably, unfortunately. I finally decided on an Emerald 221. I wasn’t to sure about the rustication but decided I could live with it.
When it arrived I was really pleased with it but it wouldn’t draw. Turns out the stem had not been drilled properly. The supplier quickly rectified the situation but I’d mentioned it on a FB group which resulted in someone from Peterson reaching out with an apology! The second pipe was perfect and I love the rusticated look as it happens.
The first experience with the p-lip was an absolute enlightenment! It was an absolute joy. For the first time ever I started to enjoy the subtleties of different tobaccos. I could actually TASTE them instead of just getting a tongue blast which meant all I could really taste was burning tobacco. I also started practicing the breath method and, combined with the Emerald, slowed everything down considerably so no tongue bite (or even the tingle of one) whatsoever. I used to get some tongue bite years ago and even now can just get the hint of it if I’m not careful but the p-lip bypasses that completely I found.
The only problem I foresee in the future is I worry that the P-lip may have spoiled me and that any new pipes I purchase will have to be Peterson’s.
