I made it a tradition to get a St. Patrick Day Pete every year, with the exception of last years line... I just couldn't get over the yellow stem with the green stain and army mount. Those three attributes did not (in my opinion) go well together at all.
I may (perhaps) renew my yearly tradition this Feburary with the 2019 line up.
This year, Peterson has decided to bring in the system pipes. As much as I love Peterson pipes, I've yet to purchase a system pipe. Also, they are including the option of fishtail stems and P-lip stems. I also have yet to own a Plip. So for those of you, like myself, who enjoy Petes but somehow never purchased one or both of these options in a pipe that made Peterson famous, now's a good chance to finally do so.
Also... once again they are green. As they have been for three out of the last four years... now four out of the last five. I must say that is my number one gripe out of this years group. It was cool the first time, and still pretty cool the second time. But now it's lost a bit of its appeal. A couple green pipes in the collection is nice, and fun. But I don't want this many. Not to mention, I'm still tempted to purchase last years pipe just to have it in the collection even though I practically hated them. That being said, they certainly look better this year, returning to a black stem instead of that gods awful yellow stem on green pipe combination.
So. I'm a bit up in the air on this years. I'd like to continue my yearly tradition of St. Patty's Day pipes. I'm a bit thrown off by the once again green. But, I dig that they chose the system pipes with either Plip or fishtail, which I own neither of.
Not a bad looking pipe, though.
