And I just read Al's comment. Yeah, that's tough. Although some dads I know wish they had been impotent.

I like the P-Lip on bent stems and hangers. For straight stems, I prefer the fishtail.
l never liked the pee lip thingamabob...it's downright ugly - plus it's dang uncomfortable in the choppers. A fishtail only for me, German vulcanite/cumberland.

I have one Peterson p-lip and I haven’t smoked it in years. It’s funny that this post was here and I was just going thru my cellar and my pipes and really was debating on smoking this pipe.... maybe I will be smoking it later.
I only have 2 Petersons, one with a p-lip the other is a fishtail...I'm not a big fan of the Peterson breed in general , especially the more recent examples. For the price of a Pete, I don't think you should be swabbing out excess stain from the shank each time you smoke. But that's just me.
As for the p-lip, I can take it or leave it. I think its mostly a gimmick. That being said, I am kind of fond of the pipe sporting the p-lip in my collection. It's an old (40 year old) 221s kappit. But it's the handy size of the pipe, the way it smokes, it's portability, and the comfortable feel of it in my hand, that makes the pipe and not the odd gimmicky button.

latest peterson pipes don't have stain issues. at least, new ones from SP within last 18 months.
That's good to hear.
Unfortunately I purchased one from P&C a little over year ago and it had the excess stain issue. I've cleaned the stain out and it no longer bleeds but it startled the hell out of me when I first smoked it. White pipe cleaners would come out the color of a baboons ass...I had never seen that happen before even on cheap basket pipes. It was rather offputting.
yeah, i think some other vendors have older stock on peterson pipes. P&C sent me older stock peterson, but worked out fine for me. it seems that old stain problem is still putting off people. only get my petersons from SP.
I had one Pete with a P-lip and I hated It from the first light. I finally gave it to my cousin and he tried to give it back, no go. I don’t know what he did with it. Smoking it was like putting a stick in my mouth. Never again will I buy a P-lip. I do have an Aran 999 with a fishtail and it is one of my better pipes, passes a cleaner too.
