Peterson Snob?

[lordofthepiperings]

Pete's have been around since 1865, so they must be doing something right. I love the three Pete's I have. All are entry level Aran's, but they still smoke very well. A good draw and well balanced. I would never think of you as a snob Jim. I've never heard you bash another pipe just because it wasn't a Peterson. I'm looking myself, to start a collection of Peterson's and it's not because I don't like other brands. I have a Brindisi that smokes very well and a Butz-Choquin that I like a lot, and I also intend on getting a Savinelli Caramella eventually. The reason I'm looking to start a Pete collection is because I like how they smoke and I love the look of them as well. I love your posts about what's new with Peterson Jim. Keep the informative and enjoyable posts about Peterson coming.

Although I am new to pipe smoking, I have wanted Petersons for years. So my first pipe was a Peterson, and now I have 2 Petersons. My heritage is Celtic, so that probably played a part in my interest initially. Now as I am learning more and more about pipe smoking, my interest is greater than ever. Maybe one day I'll have an impressive collection. I always look forward to Jim's posts. I have a lot of respect for him.

Milan Tobacconists will special order a Peterson for a $5.00 fee. You can select the fishtail when you order,

but you may have to email them to make certain they order the saddle bit instead of the tapered bit.

I think they make a good smoking pipe at an decent price. :D

As I am close to a hundred Petersons , Yeah I like 'em!

The thing I like about my Donegal Rocky Petersons is that you don't have to be careful with them. Just throw in a pack, or in pocket with the keys, and they come out looking like new. Can't do that with a $500 Dunhill Bruyere. Petersons are built like little tanks that can take the heat!

I love my Donegal Rocky too, it is one of my favorites. However, when it comes to constantly good quality I am slowly becoming a Stanwell collector - I have had no bad experiences with them.

one third of my colection are Pets so rant one and let us learn more. all pipes are good some better than others regardless of brand.

What a pleasant surprise! I had forgotten all about this post.Obviously it is over 6 months since first it went up.

To my mind it epitomises the great spirit and is evidence of the marvellous camaraderie which is in abundance on this great forum.

The affirmation of so many members to my weakness for the Peterson brand is very satisfying.Thank you guys,it is much appreciated.

Kindest regards

Jim

I got my first peterson last week, around the day I joined here. it may be an entry level pipe yes, but it is head and shoulders above what many make. What I love about peterson is that they produce pipe that will suit anyone, given patience. They come in variations of colour, design, mouthpiece that allows you to find something to match yourself. my local B&M were so very helpful in my choicemaking, since they opened their display and allowed me to choose anything I thought would suit me. the price was no object and the one I chose reasonable. They cater to both novices like me and the experienced smoker. I'll take them over dunhill any day.
