| Can you give your pros and cons on P-lips, I am still relatively new to the pipe smoking world. I have a p-lip pipe and I am having to get used to it as far as holding it in my mouth, but I have heard this type help prevent tongue bite, true or false? |

Ditto!
It is personal taste really. They work well on the pete's that I do have. I do not have any real preference here. Just got the 2010 POY in without the p lip, does not bother me, either way!!!!
Preventing tongue is a sales pitch, if the baccy has bite, it has bite either way!!!!!!

| I have one. Since it is a memorial pipe, I won't be changing it. I do not smoke it as often as the others, but it's ok. I smoked it last night, and I simply do not find the P Lip as comfortable even though the pipe smokes well. Fortunately the material is reasonably soft to the teeth. If it was a hard acrylic, there would be no way I could smoke it. _________________  Current pen & ink. 1930's Replica Pelikan M101N Tortoise Shell - Med Nib Ink = J. Herbin - Éclat de Saphir |

| Most of my Pete's have the P-lip. Personally, I really like it - I'm a clencher & find the P-lip sits well in my mouth. |

They suck and they're a bad idea.
Sorry, that's the best I could do for pros

| Bought one long ago, smoked it a few times and its been gathering dust ever since.
Pros: adds variety to your collection; lets ya answer questions like this one
Cons (for me): palate bite; uncomfortable

| I've always been afraid of them. I wouldn't buy a pipe with one. Having the smoke hit my hard palate instead of my tongue sounds like hurt. |

| Sure. I raised a nice blister on my palatte once with my first p-lip (Black Mallory was high octane back when Charles Rattray was still blending it himself, and two bowls, back-to-back, was probably overkill). But, IMHO, it's like somebody taking up accoustic guitar, finding that his fingers are getting sore, and deciding to quit. There IS a certain amount of adaption that goes into learning to use anything. I like them well enough.  |

My four Petes are fishtails.
