My new P-Lip 😋

[Tyke Piper]

As recommended/suggested by my fellow compatriot @tobakenist , here's my new Peterson 'Rathbone' Sherlock Holmes series P-Lip (9mm)...turned out to be a real bargain. £79 delivered and surprisingly came with their real leather pipe-sock too...

...and its first smoke is, frankly, excellent (no filter) - got a Gawith Hogarth 'Kentucky' blend in here & the wife heartily approves

they're not for everyone but I certainly am a fan of the Peterson lip.

Wow! £79 shipped is a great deal on that beautiful pipe! Well done

Suede sock is default now for Sherlocks and some premium grade Petes. Limited are coming with tweed sock.

Yes, I was slightly dubious myself...but suffering a little with noob tongue bite (and given the price) I thought "what have I got to lose?"

I'd say I'm a definite convert now. It really did give me an improved smoke and I appreciated (as did my tongue ) the diversion of smoke in the mouth. Winner

Thanks Yano, love it

I didn't know that...but as it was advertised showing the standard 'velvet' sock it was a nice (and additional) surprise to find it in the packaging

Hey alright!! Nice looking pipe, and if it helps out your smoking, all the better.

 

[tobakenist]

Wow, glad you took my advice, happy smoking.

the spread of the smoke is what makes it great and the way it slows the smoke down.

Congrats @Tyke Piper ! Great pipe for a great price! Happy smoking!!

May I ask where you got a 9mm Rathbone for 79 euros ??

Awesome pipe! Peterson is top notch.

Sure, but it was £79 (pound sterling) not Euros. Of course, 20% of that is VAT

Got it from Harrison & Simmonds via their eBay listing. They tend to have one-offs with 10/15/20% off their standard price but it really is a case of being in the right place/right time as, I'm sure you can imagine, they don't tend to be listed for long at those prices before they're gone.

Absolutely...in fairness I really didn't know what to expect but it transpired to be a great investment. In comparison, I smoked my Peterson Irish Army smooth 'Brandy' (no P-Lip) last night and I could tell the difference immediately!

Wow, glad you took my advice, happy smoking.

Cheers Ken, very much appreciated

Looks a bit like mine, yours has more red going on.

Almost identical, but yes...the burgundy/red is hugely pronounced on mine (image attached)

 

[Egg Shen]

Mine is very red on the bottom but nowhere else. I actually think I like how yours looks a bit more. Mine came with the green sock too.

Thanks, that's what I thought after I asked. I've been looking at another shape they have at a reasonable price but haven't made a decision yet. Great pipe you bought !! Congratulations and Enjoy !! You're right I read past the GBP symbol
