Peterson 221 vs 230?

I pulled the trigger and purchased the 221. It’s lighter and has a bigger bowl.

Thank you all for the input! I’ll post a photo when it arrives.

I’m surprised that the 221 is lighter. I suspect that one of the pipes was weighed incorrectly.

And I’m also serious about the Pete shape 9. Sexy as.

No offense taken. I didn’t even get the joke, because until now I didn’t know there was a shape 9.

9's are ok I guess, I've got one or two... You can see a small collection of em in my avatar.

The 221 should be the heavier pipe, as found in my comparison of Christmas 2023 pipes (and mentioned in my previous post), but I don’t know which pipes in particular the OP was looking at.

No problem. I love Peterson pipes.

He's looking at the derry pipes. The 221 is 2 grams lighter than the 230.

I'd say the weight is inconsequential in this case.

I agree with that. I just find it odd that the small pipe is heavier.

I know it's an old thread, but I'm wondering if you ever got your 221? Would love to see it. My SPD 221 is the first pipe I ever acquired, back in 2011. I love it.

I have a 221 Dracula, clenches fine.

I would go with the 221. You can always load half a bowl or come back to an half smoked bowl later. You can’t overfill a 230.

On the flip side, if you like the feel of a smaller pipe or want to be able to stow it easily, then the 230 is your best bet.
