Hi, Can I ask what it is ? Looks like a 68 or 69 with an AB Stem ??? Thanks !
Thanks for posting this! I’ve been wondering when we were going to see this pipe. It’s got a Barling-esque look to it but without the longer band.
Here’s the write-up from the Instagram post:
A Peterson pipe is more than a practical tool for enjoying a favourite tobacco; it’s a descendant of a potently historical lineage and stoutly qualified to share daily activities, enhance travels, and adeptly survive the most daring of adventures. Our Pipe of the Year for 2023, the X160, reimagines a historic shape in a variety of striking finishes. This pipe features traditional engineering and our patented P-Lip mouthpiece in jet-black Ebonite, providing a stunning historical link to Peterson’s early years through modern artistry that is scrupulously accurate, highly efficient, and exquisitely timeless, available August 8th. #petersonpipes #petersonpipeoftheyear #pipesmokingcommunity #pipesmokers

Oh that smooth and sandblast look nice! I'm not in a hurry for a P lip, but those are pretty.
Curious about the Size; found this article so it looks like a follow up (???):
95. The 2018 Evening (Army) Collection
The first of the 2018 Evening Collection army mounts should be appearing over the horizon almost any day now, and I thought you’d enjoy a closer, non-commerical look and perhaps a bit of background…

Does anyone have an original X160 in their vintage collection who could give us dimensions and chamber size ? Just curious. Thank you for any info.
Another P-lip exclusive? Peterson saves me a lot of greenbacks with theses decisions. And it leaves more for
Ash to clutter his house with!

Sorry. Skipping out on it. Other than my low rate of smoking now days, as much as I prefer spigot and army, I like special pipes to be traditionally fitted.
I’m guessing PPN will have a little info about it in tomorrows post, though I’m not sure if dimensions will be included.
If it comes in a filtered version I may have to seriously consider it; I have enough non-filtered pipes for several lifetimes. I would have bought a 9bc but no filter.
Looks like it's a possibility but would likely only be available at SPE. A quick search showed me 9mm pipes for the 2018 Hansom, 2019 John Bull, 2020 9BC, 2021 4AB, and 2022 14B. Couldn't find an example for the 2017 with a 9mm filter but they definitely could've been made.

I have a Peterson spigot with an acrylic fishtail stem. I'm not a clencher, so I have no interest in having to do extra work to care for ebonite/vulcanite, and I have less than 0 interest in a P-lip. Others like that, and that's fine for them, but I don't.
I've seen plenty of Petersons that look great to me and if I were wealthy and looking, still wouldn't take them. The shapes and finishes I'd most be interested in seem almost always to come exclusively with vulcanite stems and/or P-lips.
I feel like I'm one of the few that dislike the P-Lip stem, it always gives me a tiny burn on the roof of my mouth, probably because i don't clench, i am pipe in hand kind of guy.
I'll be honest, I have never tried a p-lip stem. I really hate how they look, but reading about how they function, I think I would have similar issues or that it wouldn't work well for me.
That said, I do like the shape of this release and I like the look of the smooth one. I think that's a good looking pipe, it's just not for me for the aforementioned reasons.
