Peterson System bowl sizes?

[WarGhSt]

Been checking the net to see if I can find an answer to which system numbers indicate a larger bowl. At first I thought a 317 would be larger than the 314 but then I read something on another forum that indicated I was wrong. Anyone know off the top of their heads?

I think Smokingpipes.com posts the chamber measurements.

any with the XL prefix will be generous but not oversize. XL03 is one I see often

Thanks for the site.

If I were looking for a pipe that had a smoke duration of 45 minutes or greater what size and depth of bowl would be recommended?

Entirely new to the pipe thing so if 45 minutes is ridiculous please get a good laugh and then excuse my ignorance.

45 minutes is totally reasonable, but there will be a huge variance depending on how fast you smoke. I find nearly any pipe is at least a 45 minute investment for me, but I smoke at a leisurely pace. If you're looking specifically at Systems, the bowls are on the smallish side, and you're right it doesn't follow numerically. James' XL recommendation sounds like a good bet for you. Your best bet is to go big - you can always fill it short.

It would also depend on the cut of the tobacco, I imagine.

The comparison shot at the bottom of the first page is amazing. Great find!

+1 mine all last at least 45 the XLs longer
