Peterson System Standard Smooth 309 P-Lip

The Peterson System Standard Smooth 309 P-Lip represents the pinnacle of pipe-making craftsmanship, showcasing Charles Peterson’s revolutionary System design in an elegant smooth finish. This tubular Bent Billiard combines timeless aesthetics with innovative engineering, delivering a superior smoking experience for both novice and experienced pipe enthusiasts.

Dating back to 1890, Peterson’s patented System design features a unique moisture reservoir and higher draft hole that effectively wicks away moisture from the smoke, ensuring a consistently dry, cool smoke without the common issues of gurgling or tongue bite. The iconic P-Lip mouthpiece, patented between 1894-1898, directs smoke toward the roof of your mouth rather than the tongue, further reducing bite while enhancing flavor appreciation.

Crafted in Ireland with meticulous attention to detail, this pipe exemplifies Peterson’s 120+ year commitment to innovation and quality. The military mount construction not only adds visual appeal with its bright nickel band but also reinforces the mortise and allows for disassembly even during smoking sessions.

The Peterson Experience

Pipe enthusiasts consistently praise the Peterson System pipes for their exceptional performance. Many report being able to “mindlessly puff at any pace” without worrying about excessive heat or moisture. The 309 System is particularly well-regarded for flake tobacco smoking, with users noting they can simply “stuff and puff” without the typical concerns of proper packing technique.

While the P-Lip design may take some getting used to due to its unique mouth feel, smokers quickly adapt to its benefits, appreciating the reduced tongue bite and cooler smoking experience it provides.
