Next Chicago Pipe Show purchase is Peterson SH Squire. The grain is VERY eye catching. Smokes like a dream too.

Ok… there are some more pipes for later, but THIS is the one that I don’t think I will EVER find again, so…
I got it !
A Peterson ‘Kapmeer’ 106. Notice the MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN stamp. I asked Mark Irwin at the Pete Meet ‘Swap & Shop’ he held Saturday afternoon @ the show. He said it is a genuine Irish Pete made in the London Shop of K&P. He explained how Paddy Larrigan came up with the idea of a tube like piece of meerschaum to line pipe walls yet have briar at the bottom. This allow things to dry out more easily as that can be a problem with some meerschaum pipes.
So, not only did I score a great pipe, but I got the inside scoop from ‘the guy who wrote the book ’ as the old saying goes!

Ok, I caved. The urge to buy my first pipe of the year kept growing til I hit the buy button tonight. Bought myself a rusticated Baskerville which I've thought of buying for a couple of years. Mine was an estate version for $28 off new. For those unfamiliar with the model, it looked like this. https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/peterson/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=597111

I think Peterson got this one a lot closer to the shape Mark Twain smoked, than their 'Mark Twain'.

I own three Mark Twains from the 80's but really wanted the 2022 POY as I had read that this was much closer to what Twain had smoked. It's a great looking pipe.

Here are my Twain lookalikes, based on all the photos I was able to find of him smoking a pipe. At some point I'll replace the middle 'Mark Twain' with the 2022 POTY.

What model in the top one ? I like it.

Nice pipe. I have the 69-71 Kapmeer 999 Rocky Donegal. It seems to have a similar stem to shank fit. Its a great pipe but I find meerschaum to be a hot smoke. I know everyone says its cooler but I haven't found that. Must be me.
