What Peterson Should I Get?

[ZaysPiping]

If you are interested in helping me out, I'm really new and only have two corn cobs. I decided I needed a briar— Peterson.

Is there a specific blend I should save for briar apart from I think I'll keep aros in my cobs. And also for reference the type of Petersons are system standard 303 p lip or a heritage one and lastly b42 p lip

Enjoying the B42 now & this rusticated 307 is here today. So many to choose from in their library…I doubt you’ll struggle for options. ️

Any blend smokes great in a Peterson, if your buying new just go for a bog standard system pipe and see if you like it, they are cheap for such a quality pipe, my guess is that you will love it.

Have you smoked a P-lip before? They are polarizing.

Consider your answers to the following, then pick whatever floats your boat:
-chamber size you prefer?
-system or not?
-plip or fishtail?
-acrylic or vulcanite?
-sitter or not?

is a sitter harder to clean ?

I would advise against purchasing a p-lip as your first briar. If you’re dead set on a Peterson make sure you see fishtail in the title.

NO

I don't agree, and often think part of the polarization of a P-lip is simply because of inherent "familiarity" of a fishtail merely from exposure to one.
I think that an early exposure to a P-lip could be excellent.
I can deal with both, but am in the camp of loving them...

Personally I love a p-lip, I also recommend getting a system, I have a bunch of Petersons, only one guaranteed not to gurgle are the system s and they smoke amazingly well.

In the end, I would recommend any system standard with a P-lip with the corresponding shape and chamber dimensions you wish.

Otherwise you haven't really tried a Peterson because you haven't tried all of the patents that make it unique.

Without them it's just another pipe - and then one should choose a pipe from any brand.

Ok thanks for the help, b42 and 307 is the choice i have to make now

If getting a Peterson, I'd suggest you stay away from a P-lip.

What’s the difference between standard system and deluxe ?

A Deluxe has a Silver Ferrule and has a gap between it and the fatter bit of the stem, I have a few that were presents but I still don't know why I don't like the look of them, they smoke great but so does a System Standard. The Deluxe will have selected briar but they still don't smoke any better, I have been smoking Petersons for over 50yrs, I just love them.

I'm not personally convinced that the deluxe smokes better than a standard.
I'll have to "test" more of the deluxe, but thus far all of my standards are as good as.

Have you decided to buy a Peterson so you can get the free tin of tobacco?

Here's an old thread with photos that gives a visual of the difference:

Peterson System Standard vs Deluxe? :: Pipe Talk

We know the cosmetic differences but how do they smoke? Are they the same or is there a difference? I did a side by side smoke off of the two to see if I could discover a difference and the following is what I discovered. The standard has an acrylic tenon. The premier and deluxe has an...
