***What Are You Smoking, September, 2023?***

[The Amish Tyrant]

Smokes great; after a brief period the p-lip (first one I’ve had, and supposedly the most comfortable one yet) has become very comfy and clenches great; after sticking with mainly US mid century estate pipes that screw together I’m used to blowing out moisture mid smoke if it accumulates; and my white whale at this point is a WWI era military mount K&P billiard and this is as close as I may get for the foreseeable future.
This is the only non-cob I’ve bought new, not estate.

Thank you for the thoughtful response.

I prefer bents, but have a few straights in the stable. I also favor a larger chamber (but my larger pipes can easily fit inside the regular smokers of @Chasing Embers and @tbradsim1 ).

My little basket pipe has about a 1/4 bent (if that) and I enjoy shorter smokes and stronger blends with it. While I clench with my bigger pipes, that basket pipe seemingly let's me get more done efficiently (yes, it's all in my head - don't look inside, the wheel still spins but the hamster has been dead for awhile).

As a result of the above along with my new found love for the p-lip and army mount concept, I'm eyeing a Peterson army short. Here's my basket pipe for reference:

Awesome trio, and that army mount typifies what will be my white whale!!

Thank you.
They are small pipes with group 2-3 owls
Nice 20-30min smokes.
Old amber stems can be brittle and orific bits mean they are uncomfortable to clench. I use rubber/silicon bits with those stems.

Good choice brother.They are my winners for smoking all kinds of blends, incredible, if you want a real tobacco aroma. I am in love with the Missouri Meerschaum. My favorites are: General, Diplomat and Charles Towne Cobbler.

Peterson Sherlock Holmes Iora and Wilke 71st Street. I’m laughing at this screenshot that accidentally superimposed Loverboy on my home screen last Sunday as I must have been exiting the Jeep - that’s what she is thinking most of the time!

Was just talking about Ashton sizes yesterday at club meetup.
I've got a XX coming, and according to its measurements it could easily be a XXX.
Like the Dunhill group numbers, it varies wildly - sometimes nonsensically.

This early X has a chamber size I've seen on Dunhill groups 1, 2, and 3 - about .73 x 1.5".

Depending on the tobacco cut, this pipe usually lasts me 40-60 minutes.

Lovely afternoon with KBV Butterscotch Toddy in a Stephen Liskey Squat Tomato. Aromatic delight.

Cool,
I have a 2 and love it. I have 3’s, LX and ElX as well but no X as of yet.
Your X is a great looking pipe and grain.
