Jaysin: Nice ! Enjoy the pipe.
Cyndi: Try a 408 with a Fishtail. I've noticed it has a more open draw than my other Pete's. And I only have one P-Lip, which I don't enjoy as much either.
(you know you're a pipe smoker if you know what that meant :rofl: )

I have one Pete - a second, actually, with a slight bowl surface mark - that is neither system or P lip. Smokes very well.

I just wish that they were bigger ( that's what she said ).

Nice 999, a favorite shape of mine. I didn't much care for the two p-lips I had (both sold) but the wife bought me the Zippo set with a Rocky Donegal fishtail billiard. It smokes pretty darn well. I'm holding out for a 999 Rosslare in Royal Irish finish...

i am not sure what i think of the p lip i didnt have a choice in this as it was part of a deal a random pete pipe tobacco and some other stuff

 

[jaysin]

actually is unsmoked and the more i look at the p lip the more i think about trading it in

The 999 shape is very nice. Not as classic in my opinion as the 9438 that GBD made, but very nice. The P lip can be a good thing, but I prefer the fishtail. Rhodesians are a favorite shape of mine, and a 999 in the rusticated finish of the Kildare line would be a nice addition. As to the comparison above with Savinelli, I have several of both Peterson, and Savinelli pipes. The upper end Savinellis have nicer grain, but Peterson drills all of their pipes well. I have never owned one that did not draw well, and I have owned some Savinellis that needed to be opened up a bit. Petersons have fills, they are a bit clunky in some shapes, but they just smoke well. Kinda like a Toyota, they just don't let you down IMO.

 

[jaysin]

dont get me wrong i love the bowl shape guess i should try the p lip before passing judgement

 

[lordofthepiperings]

The P-Lip is a love/hate thing. Personally I love my P-Lip Arans. Great draw to them and for a lower end price they smoke very well. I only have one Savinelli to compare to my three Petes so far, but I have to say I like the Savinelli Caramella also. Great draw and grain, smokes wonderfully too. I really think you can't go wrong with a Pete or Sav, but I do advise to try the P-Lip out on a lower end line or cheaper estate since it's such a love/hate thing.

like i said this is my first higher end pipe and when i say that i mean non drugstore pipe. i got it in a package deal
