Peterson Pub Pipe

[VDL_Piper]

So I've become enamoured with the pub pipe, love the Oom Paul shape............but!. They are big and with that comes problems so I'm reaching out to see how owner operators find their Peterson Pub Pipes, warts and all assessments please. Are they too heavy, don't hang well, difficult to keep lit as well as smoke time length, do they smoke flakes better, you get the gist.

They hang amazingly comfortable for such a big pipe. The short stem keeps it tucked near your chin. I don’t find it tiring at all to keep it clenched for the majority of the smoke.

The Pub Pipe is designed very well. More compact and better hang feel than the House Pipe.

There's already a thread on Pub Pipes ... use the search bar above. Most comments were positive in all respects you mention. That shape is preferred by some for smoking flake virginias because of the narrow cylindrical bowl. That being said ... I recently purchased a pub pipe and am still getting used to it. It is massive to behold (although I have one billiard with a deeper bowl). It continues to amaze me as I smoke it. Always a dry smoke, very comfortable. They do make some on the smaller side amongst the pub pipes ...check the dimensions before you buy. Also read up on it at Peterson Pipe Notes. If you want to try a smaller version, I believe the 313 is the smallest of that bent dutch shape. Get both and report back to us !!!

I actually did that a drew a blank on the search and yes I have read PPN on the subject too, was looking for more anecdotal references. The tall bowl makes sense with Virginia’s.

Thanks, fatigue was one of my main concerns

Thank you, good to know.

Oom Paul/ Mark Tinskey :: Pipe Talk

Just wanting some opinions from current owners of Oom Paul shapes and Mark Tinskey pipes give me some reviews are they a go or no?

Oom Pauls :: Pipe Smoking Basics & Beginner Questions

What is it that makes an Oom Paul an Oom Paul? I thought it was just having a flat bottom but apparently it is more than that. I always thought of the attached picture being a Oom Paul, but I guess it isn't? What would you call the attached pic?

Love mine, Its great on flake as said above and good for a long smoke on the porch when the weather is right for it. I tend to burn English Blends in mine the majority of the time. It’s fugly and a p-lip but it’s comfortable in the hand a smokes very well.

I received a full bent Silver Capped Pub Pipe for Christmas. I love the look of but it smokes very wet.

Dave are you normally a wet smoker?, I thought system pipes mitigated most of the wet issues.

I was going to get a pub pipe after trying one at my local B&M, but in the end did not get on with the Hungarian shape. I went with a straight billiard style house pipe instead. I went from large to huge.

Interesting, Mine smokes dry as dust.

Dry your tobacco more. Smoke slower. Sip the tobacco. Its possible the tobacco you are using is more moist. Mine only had a little moisture at bottom one time when I smoked flake directly from bag without drying. If you are talking about moisture in the shank chamber ... well, that is the purpose of the dry system. Wipe it out with a paper towel after each smoke.

My pub pipe is actually bigger than some house pipes. 22.5x51.5 chamber. At least when I bought it it was. I did see one house pipe after that was deeper but I suspect they hit a pit in the chamber as it was deeper than normal.

Mine did as well until (and this may have nothing to do with your experience) I realized I was treating the large chamber as kind of an excuse for thinking I had more margin for error and was a bit casual in drying and “packing”. A few Nording keystone chips I’ve found also help with certain chamber shapes.

My XL339S also smokes 'wet' ... no matter what tobacco used ... the dry system chamber collects condensation ... so much that I have to dump or pour out the liquid at least twice during a bowl (19.5mmx38.5mm) . However the stem is looser than normal ,,, I surmise to accommodate this process.
Perhaps this is the way they are all supposed to be and ones that are dry are not drilled properly ???
Just a query to ponder ... What do you guys think ???

Mine is cool & dry all the way through.
Off memory I’ve burned
Capt. Earle’s Ten Russians, Honor
GLP Odyssey,Quiet Nights, Haddo’s
C&D Autumn Evening (goopy blend)
Kramer’s Father Dempsey, Cary Grant’s
SPC Plum Pudding
Cult Blood Red Moon

No issues with any of them.
I swab it out, wipe off the condenser
Fold the cleaner over and swab out the reservoir and done.

I have two pub pipes, as well as a straight billiard house pipe. They are all fantastic smokers. I don't think you can go wrong Peterson pub/house pipe if you want to sit down for a lot of tobacco.

We need to bring back smoking in pubs, that way we can all enjoy our Peterson pub pipes in the way they were intended to be enjoyed lol
