Thanks! You know, I understand Peterson's purpose in their upward flow; I just never understood why they implemented such an uncomfortable button (for me). I'm sure it has something to do with technology at the time and the ease in manufacturing with said technology. With this Two Way Bit button being shaped so closely to a regular button, I have great expectation it'll be perfectly comfortable as it distributes flavor into the roof and all areas around the mouth. It should be interesting and pleasant - unless I smoke something bitey. I'll keep you all posted.Piping Abe wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2025 6:28 pmI love both of these shapes. And that button is something I have never seen. It is either terrible or genius. Let us know!Longshanks wrote: ↑Thu Jan 02, 2025 1:58 pm Also picked up this Medico VFQ squat bulldog and a Yello Bole "Two Way Bit". That Medico stem lines up nice on the shank; I just replaced it crooked after checking the tenon. It takes a filter, which isn't my favorite, but whomever cleaned it up did a great job on the pipe. The pear shape isn't my favorite, but I really wanted to check out this Yello Bole Two Way Bit system. It's an interesting roof-of-the-mouth concept, similar to the Peterson bit, but without the discomfort in the irregular bit shape. Stinger is present, so it's whole. Can't wait to try them both out.
And that Checker is a fine pipe. They are gigantic but I am sure it’ll smoke like the dickens!
