Look for the Wellington Jumbo. A man's pipe!Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 5:43 pmI saw a baby wellington on the bay. It was too small (even for me)Piping Abe wrote: ↑Sun Jan 22, 2023 5:20 pm I would be if I had one. Check out Wellington Pipes on eBay and Esty. They are vulcanite System Pipes. Made in America back in the day. A lot go up for sale. I got one brand new for not that much. They were made by WDC. The big ones were 10inch long. But they make small, medium and large ones. I love mine and I just got a tiny one. It needs to be cleaned though

@MikeDennison i think what folks are trying to say is to forego the Pete and snag a wellington. If I had any of my old Petes around still I'd send them to you. But I don't

Half price, American made, Vulcanite, yes thats what i’m saying @MikeDennison ! I love mine. But also don’t mind an acrylic Pete Stem. Its not bulky like Italian Acrylic.Mr Beardsley wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 5:36 pm @MikeDennison i think what folks are trying to say is to forego the Pete and snag a wellington.

I hear what yer sayin', @Mr Beardsley & @Piping Abe, and I'm not averse to the idea. I'm trying the trade thing to see if I can do this without laying out the extra cash. Failing that, I'll take a look at the Wellingtons. Thanks, gents!

Do you have a picture of what specifically you are looking for? I will certainly keep my eyes open.

Most people don't want to let go of their Petes unless they just can't get used to the P-lip. A guy on another forum bought a dozen and hated every one. He sold them at half price barely smoked. I got most of mine from eBay, but I did buy a few new ones.
