[QUOTE="dougc905, post: 75282, member: 537"] You know, if you like the shape of the 221 with the cumberland stem, then go for it. Order direct from Peterson's outlet store or from your online retailer. Its a handsome pipe with a hefty classic bent billiard style. I also note that the pictured pipe has a standard fishtail stem. You'll have to make a decision as to whether you want a p-lip or fishtail stem. Sasquatch notes that the pipes are dip-stained. That means that everything is stained on the pipe - even the inside of the bowl and the airways. A few people take some sandpaper or steel wool and remove the stain from the inside of the bowl. Grab a pad of course steel wool, roll it into a shape that you can stuff into the bowl and twist away. You should be able to remove the stain fairly easily. Then begin your break in. Assuming that everything is drilled squarely, the pipe will probably smoke well. As for the Sherlock Holmes series, I bought a 'Squire' during the first release. That's the bent bulldog shape. I really like the look of the pipe but hate the p-lip, which it came with. So over the years, I hardly smoked it at all. I ultimately had LL make me a new fishtail stem. Now that I smoke it more, I can report that it is a nice smoker! When I got this pipe, it had some sort of dark coating in the bowl if I recall correctly. Now that it is older, some of the fills are apparent if you look really hard. I just enjoy the pipe! These are LL's pics of my pipe: [IMG]http://pages.ca.inter.net/~douglas.cope/Other/Pete.Sav%20stem%20set%201.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://pages.ca.inter.net/~douglas.cope/Other/Pete.Sav%20stem%20set%202.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
