Very attractive pipes Dave. The Dr Plumb is one of my favorite shapes. Looks like a p-lip on that Pete. How do you like that?

Looks like a great start on your collection. Hang around here long enough and you'll have many times that when PAD sets in!

It is indeed a p-lip, well spotted sir. The P-lip is really very easy to grip in the mouth and stays in place very easily, the best out of all my pipes for ease of grip in my mouth. But it does direct the smoke to the roof of my mouth and that can become bothersome sometimes. The smoke tends to be really dry in the Pete, to much so. What I will say is the Pete sits the best in my mouth without any straining to grip it, hardly any in fact. The geometry of the pipe wins over in that regard, it just sits very naturally. I wonder if it is the p-lip or the system design...If I buy another Pete pipe, it wont be a system, maybe just a normal Pete with a P-lip, then I'll find out once and for all.

Thanks for all the welcomes guys.

Welcome aboard. Enjoy you time here. I like some rope myself. Having a Christmas pipe of SG brown Irish X now.

P.S. (With a pinch of lane 1Q for the wife haha)

And howdy! I'm also a BoB newbie, probably too new to welcome you, but welcome just the same. I saw that you had an opportunity to smoke some of Hans Wiedemann's blends. I haven't tried the ones you mentioned but if they're as good, in their own way, as Fayyum Kake and Dockworker, then I hope to try those as well as time goes by. Enjoy the smoke and the comradeship and have a healthy and happy New Year!
