[QUOTE="kingcobradude, post: 561985, member: 2169"] I do have a WDC Wellington (one of my late grandfather's pipes), pretty much an oversized system pipe with a p lip. My observations with it in regards to your statements are as follows: 1. I don't just close my lips around the button on any of my pipes. I always have the button behind my teeth. But I do find the stem feels quite natural in my lips. 2. Clenching is awkward for me with any pipe I have ever smoked. 3. I don't notice any flavor loss. But that may be from my p lip being on a monster of a pipe. My only real complaint is running a pipe cleaner through it can be tricky, and I can't use my regular tapered or extra fluffy cleaners. But the size requires the use of churchwarden cleaners anyway. Which I forgot to order in my latest tobacco order. But that Wellington is one of my favorite pipes, not least due to sentimental value. In conclusion, p-lip or fishtail isn't a real factor for me when buying pipes after smoking my grandfather's pipe. But that's just me, ymmv [/QUOTE]
