Peterson 312 vs 314

[hunterspipes]

which one of these do you grab more often?

314. I'm guessing @Peterson314 would say the same.

314 for any of the older versions. I like the chamber of the 312 but the older stems were longer, and seemed to wiggle too much when I clench.
The new / current generation of system standards use an acrylic stem that seems to be the same / interchangeable amongst them; at least btwn the current 314 / 312.
So now, I grab my current 312 just as regularly, and may acquire more. As well as offload my 1 or 2 older ones.

what’s the smoke time for the 312?

That's entirely dependent on your packing, moisture level of leaf, type of cut, your puffing and any wind you're in.......... And other variables...

Indeed

I’d say you could do over 1h in general.

There are reasons this isn't listed in the specs for pipes for sale.

I have almost moved away from my bent pipes completely. But, I occasionally grab one and I would have to say 314.

Why?

Why?

If you are reading the posts in this thread you'll see several already listed above but they are fairly obvious. It would be a silly thing for a manufacturer to claim to quantify as a spec.

I confirmed this last night for the CURRENT era production...

312, indeed. More pleasure at once.
