Since we have a lot of guys just beginning in the pipe world, I thought we'd offer this thread as an ongoing Q&A between the new guys, and the experienced guys- with the hope that the former will transition into the latter. Feel free to continue starting threads around different questions, but here is a place for any and all pipe related inquiries.

Here's a couple examples:

Q What do people mean by Dunhill EMP?
A EMP refers to Dunhill's blend, Early Morning Pipe

Q What is a "p-lip" stem?
A It is a design, originally by Peterson (circa 1898) that directs the smoke upward in your mouth, rather than straight across the tongue like a traditional stem.

Q What do people mean by a "parfait"?
A A parfait is when you layer more than one blend of tobacco in the bowel of your pipe to achieve a different flavor experience. Example- packing the bottom half with Nightcap, and the top half with Bob's Chocolate Flake
