@Zouave1864 On Mark Irwin’s Peterson Pipe Notes page there was a “heads up” about the release of the 2025 Carroll of Carrollton pipes. They will drop at SmokingPipes on Tuesday 24th at 6PM Eastern.
The Peterson P-Lip is a distinctive mouthpiece design used in many Peterson pipes, and it was created with a very particular rationale in mind: to improve the smoking experience by directing smoke away from the tongue.
Here’s the basic idea:
Most traditional pipe stems use a straight bore where the smoke exits through the center of the opening and flows directly across the tongue. Over time, especially with hotter-burning tobaccos or fast puffing, this can cause tongue bite—a burning or irritating sensation on the tongue.
The P-Lip’s design changes that:
It features a small hole (orifice) on the top of the stem’s tip, instead of at the end.
This redirects the smoke upward, toward the roof of the mouth, rather than straight onto the tongue.
Rationale and Benefits:
Reduces tongue bite: Since the smoke isn’t hitting the tongue directly, the risk of tongue burn is lessened.
Promotes cooler smoking: By changing the airflow and how it interacts with your mouth, many smokers find it results in a cooler, drier smoke.
Ergonomic feel: The P-Lip often provides a more comfortable grip between the teeth or lips, though this part is more subjective.
Some smokers love it, others don’t:
Fans say it helps them smoke longer and more comfortably.
Critics find the upward smoke flow unusual or even uncomfortable, especially if they’re used to traditional stems.
Peterson has stuck with the P-Lip for over a century (it was patented in 1898), and it remains one of their signature features. But they also offer many models with fishtail (traditional) stems for those who prefer the classic feel.
@RockyMountainBriar thank you. I have one, but I kind of want to start collecting each year. Now I need to start looking for some in estates as well. There is one on ebay right now. I like the size of them.
got the new Carroll of Carrolton pipe from Peterson. It's the sandblasted finish pipe. I have to say, I liked the thicker stem and mouthpiece on the older iteration. The stem also wasn't perfectly lined up with the stummel as well. Not a huge deal, but it was noticeable enough to catch my eye and annoy me a bit. Otherwise the sandblasting is great, and the size is nice.
@Zouave1864 That pipe looks like the stem was inserted upside down then a dinkus bent it. The offset looks like it should align about right. If you turn the stem 180 does it line up at the shank? If so, stuff a long pipe cleaner through it and heat the stem evenly with a hot air gun where you want it re-bent. Form and hold the stem with a clean rag few a few seconds to set it where you like. If you haven’t bent a stem before, it’s pretty easy, just don’t apply too much heat in one spot or for too long. P.S. I would email Peterson customer support with the issue, they might “make it right”. Really, if it is upside down, it should have never left the factory until it was corrected, for them it would be a very simple fix. I have not been impressed with their quality as of late. Especially letting stupid simple stuff like this get through how many levels of QC?
@RockyMountainBriar I just checked, that's exactly what they did. I think I'll try the heat gun trick. It's annoying it shouldn't have left the factory like that. Otherwise its a nice little pipe. The sandblasting looks good.

I'm not going to buy anymore Pipes. I'm not going to buy anymore Pipes. I'm not going to buy anymore Pipes.
I think that means I can buy one new one.
The Pete Calabash is a dang small pipe, it makes the Rattray’s Goblin 100 look like an ODA🙂
@PappyJoe
I’m sure that is what it means🙂
Sorry, no extra information on them here.

I whole heartedly agree.
