That's the '22 PPN CPG. Nice looking pipeBeen enjoying some “small bowls” so as not to overdo my pipe enjoyment this weekend before another long break (back at it for real in October). ‘23 Pete PPN CPG on the deck that I’ll probably just enjoy about 1/2.

Oops, lol, fat fingers! And thanks again!!!That's the '22 PPN CPG. Nice looking pipe
Yeah you got my heart racing there thinking that I missed the '23 even though I signed up!Oops, lol, fat fingers! And thanks again!!!
That would be a scoop of it was the ‘23 - you probably saw the actual rendering I pulled off PPN this morning.
That is a nice collection there...do you know that House pipe and 14b stems are exchangeble?You can smoke a house pipe with tapered bit and 14b with saddle bit...Here are the four pipes I recent got which cost the same amount as the rest of my collection. You guys are such bad influences and I love you for it.

The only sad part is that someone shaved the bottom of my pub pipe! I let the culprit reveal himself if he so chooses as I don't want him to be mobbed by the CPG gang.

Obviously I'm joking but the real heart breaker is that this Irish Second pub pipe's flaw is a nearly complete blockade of the draft hole around where the P is. Drawing from it is like drawing from the most tightly packed pipe, except that it's completely empty. I'm planning to reach out to SPE since I wouldn't call this a "fully functional, eminently smokeable" pipe.

I didn't but that's definitely a plus! I prefer the tapered stem and I think the house would look good with one. I know the bend would be off but I likely wouldn't be clenching it.That is a nice collection there...do you know that House pipe and 14b stems are exchangeble?You can smoke a house pipe with tapered bit and 14b with saddle bit...
How do you sign up? I read the site often and haven't been able to figure it out lolYeah you got my heart racing there thinking that I missed the '23 even though I signed up!
Great tip @NC TX ID pipeman! Had to try it for myself! It seems like it will work very well and clenches great. My original house pipe stem has to tight of a draw and this fixed the problem. Next time I have a spare 3 hrs…I didn't but that's definitely a plus! I prefer the tapered stem and I think the house would look good with one.

Correct. I received my confirmation email from PPN on April 9th. There's only 90 pipes available. I'm looking forward to this years PPN CPG pipe.Sign up was for a limited time, it’s come and gone. The updates for stuff like that is usually all the way at the bottom of the blog post.
Will the 2023 PPN have a tapered stem?I didn't but that's definitely a plus! I prefer the tapered stem and I think the house would look good with one. I know the bend would be off but I likely wouldn't be clenching it.

It Looks like it got bumped up to 120.Correct. I received my confirmation email from PPN on April 9th. There's only 90 pipes available. I'm looking forward to this years PPN CPG pipe.

Look for an email from Google Sheets confirming your response.Oh dang, I signed up but never had a confirmation email. Guess I was too late
That’s a Twain. If you want white use Hard as Nails nail polish, I wouldn’t go white.Finally landed a Twain (1984) for a reasonable price since it went under the radar. Stem needs to be refreshed, the stummel has a bunch of the micro-dings that come with an old pipe, and there’s just a touch of rim char near the stem side of the top of the bowl. Otherwise pretty nice. If anyone's got a 1988 and wants a 1984, let me know!
Also, anyone have thoughts on trying to "paint" or fill in the P logo so that it’s white like the stem was originally? What's your view on what things things should be done to restore a pipe and what things should be avoided?
