They've got three of those but bents are painful to clench. Still a bit small though and I was hoping that the straight billiard in early photos was the B56. Big, easy to hold, and easy to clench. I may still get one to hang on the tree though.

Everything about it is what I like except 1 thing. Vulcanite. DOA. Not for me.
That would be their saving grace for me, can't stand acrylic stems. They cheapen a pipe somehow.
They are handsome and I really like the band. But I will be happy and content to hold what I got and enjoy my Peterson Pipes of Christmas Past this year.
I do like the bands on these as they’re like the ones on the "Short" series with the top and bottom lines that just give the band that extra look of class. I’m guessing part of it is that series that use those bands (Rosslare, Flame Grain, and Short from what I can tell) don't sell a lot/are being discontinued (but Peterson/LDG if you’re reading this, please don't discontinue the Short line!).
I think the heritage and copper combination work to have the right warm tones that make you think of Christmas. I would've been more interested if they went the same sandblast but in a heritage stain. The heritage stain doesn't always seem to adhere super well, maybe that was at last one factor with not going that route (although I would've guessed a sandblasted pipe would take stain better).

Thanks! I looked up all the XL shapes and surprisingly it’s actually the XL17. The links below are of course rounded numbers (and from the Halloween line last year) but I think they are probably a good average.
XL17: 47mm x 21mm
XL11: 45mm x 22mm
XL16: 43mm x 21mm
Or you
Or you could look at the actual ‘23 Xmas pipes on SP EU and see that the XL11s have the largest chamber dimensions.
That’s an interesting proposition
Hahaha thanks! Forgot that they’re already up on SPE. What would I do without you guys
Let's not find out!! I'm just sitting here letting the minutes tick by until 5 pm Central . . .That’s an interesting proposition

They are up! Totally psyched for this one, first pipe in a year and a half.
Wanted an 05 but didn't really see any I liked, found this Dublin with a nice little blast though.
