Bend it! That gradual, arched bend looks so wonderful on a Pete system.Enjoying a bowl out of the “Odds and Ends” jar in the Pre-Republic 363 after a tasty Jersey Mike’s #4.
Debating on leaving stem as-is or bending it back to its original curve (this is how it came to me).

The way it is probably is best if you hold your pipe but with more bend it's probably better for clenching ?Enjoying a bowl out of the “Odds and Ends” jar in the Pre-Republic 363 after a tasty Jersey Mike’s #4.

I was actually thinking the opposite.The way it is probably is best if you hold your pipe but with more bend it's probably better for clenching ?
I do believe you are correct, sir. However, i've never tasted said new production, so not sure if there are any flavor variations with the newer rendition.If I'm not wrong this famous Walnut by Ogden's of Liverpool goes now under the name Original Flake by Mc Barens?
I wish! Busy day, but my yard work is just beginning. First, tho...one more pipe!Yard work done, finished lunch. Now a bowl of sir Walter in a chubby Bones brandy
Nice old pipe!I’m sticking with the Irish theme since I’m still working on the Bram Stoker® Awards issue of Weird Tales Magazine. Having Peterson University Flake in a Briar Pipes Limited. (B.P.L.) Shamrock and Harp Carved Bent Billiard with a B.P.L. stamped vulcanite stem, from Dublin, Ireland—this pipe seems like it may be the Peterson 69 Shape. B.P.L. was known for issuing a number of Peterson shaped pipes for sale at Shannon Airport.

Thats the bearable one. The 'Mixture' is like sucking farts out of a Swan!It is Flake, from a tin.
