Peterson 999

[OverMountain]

My Peterson 313 is a nicely weighted and bent pipe perfect for a walk while clenched.

Has anyone found the Peterson 999 (bent Rhodesian/john bull type) to be a good lunt pipe?

I’ve got enough straight stems for enjoying while seated or stationary.

The 999 is a great lunting pipe

Peterson makes a wonderful pipe!!

Depends on the era. Pre-Republic 999's are too chunky for lunting. Modern 999's, longer & skinnier are better suited for lunting.

Note: Tongue in cheek above, I actually don't know what lunting means.... but I'm a 999 fan

As far as I know:
Lunting- walking about while smoking a pipe.

Ok,I stand by my recommendation, you don't want to risk a pre-Republic 999 walking around.

Agree with the above, but a Short 999 is great for that - load a couple shorts in the pipe wallet and go!

This, PR 999’s are shorter and fatter and don’t make great clenchers. They are much thicker in the bite zone. Modern ones are much better clenchers.

And a svelte 80s can work as well.

I saw that. Is the 80s just a nosewarmer design?

Only the Short variant. My 80s is a regular one, and it's about 5.5" long.

I love the couple 999’s that I have.
Great size for clenching and lunting.

Was referring to the usual size - to me it seems light and easy to balance.

P lip or fishtail?

P lip or fishtail?

Both Fishtails but I like p-lips as well
Just none in a 999.

Been looking. What’s your thoughts on the 80s vs the 999?

I have a 999 Peterson shape pipe, made in the 1920's and still going strong, it is so light, I don't clench but it is so comfy between my teeth, even with a P-Lip, my partner found it in my collection and fell in love with it, had to search for a modern 999 for her, it's great and she loves it but still after my old one. One thing, I love that she loves my tobacco's, makes life perfect.
