What would be the best Peterson pipe to use in a ‘slow smoking competition?’ (Serious question! Lol)
Never been to a slow smoke event before, this Saturday the London pipe club have the prestigious & priceless ‘Peterson Cup’ up for grabs. Thinking of driving down there & snatching the cup from under the city slickers noses!

As I’ve never ‘competed’ before, help & advice is imperative in order to win the cup.
Apparently, they give you 3g of tobacco & 5min to sort yourself out, load & light your pipe. Trying to envisage what 3g of tobacco looks like & what pipe would work best.

I’m thinking of using one of the following;
106 (large billiard).
309 ( tall, narrowish bowl).
20s (bent billiard/brandy).
11s ( slightly larger than the 20s).

What would be the ‘Pete to Beat’ so to speak?
Any other advice or tips, would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!

Take the one that you know smokes the best. In a regular slow smoke contest I believe you're also given 2 matches to light with. 3g of tobacco is probably based on a chamber that's 3/4" wide x 1.5" deep. My brain isn't working in metric this morning so you'll have to do the conversion yourself

20mm X 40mm….or thereabouts. Trouble is, all the above pipes smoke pretty good. Tobacco will make a big difference I suppose, to what chamber will work best. I’ll probably end up taking all my petersons, when I find out what tobacco they’re providing, I’ll opt for the most suitable pipe then.
Just need to smuggle in an invisible lighter to guarantee victory.
Something ‘James Bondish’ concealed in a signet ring perhaps? Lol

A super duper decoder ring would come in clutch! I'd suggest you geek out for a few days and work on your top contenders with some tobacco that's notoriously hard to keep lit. Or perhaps slip something into your opponents beverage

Hmm…..sneaky, I like it!! Lol
The smoke off is being held in a pub…….ample opportunity to slip a ‘Mickey Finn’ in the opponents drinks.

That's a championship mindset!
