Peterson Aran

To each their own... whichever your preference (p-lip or fishtail), Peterson pipes are very nice pipes.
I have 9 Petersons, all with a P-Lip. 7 of the Pete's are system pipes, all of which smoke cool and dry. One of my Pete's is an attractive Aran 68 smooth with great grain to the briar. Also a great smoking pipe. I find the P-Lip smokes cooler and is easier to keep my pipe lit. just my 2c
