Have wanted a 2015 Peterson Founder's Edition pipe for some time, the Hungarian shape. So, just bought one at Pipe Divan as a late 65th birthday and early retirement gift. The birthday was last week and the retirement is in 1 month. Was only $145 and change with the ex-Vat price plus free whipping.

Good stuff! I don’t know if I’m up for a whipping though, I could get that any time.
Happy birthday to ya and congrats on retirement.

Hey, at least the whipping was free. I'd be more upset if I had to pay for it. Then again, I'm not one to judge, if you like payin' for them, pay away!
Sounds like a great deal otherwise! :rofl:

I hope it smokes great! They do have generally excellent prices on their site. Ex VAT is always a treat to see your total drop even more when you check out!
They seem to always have a pretty good selection of Peterson’s. The one I ordered from them arrived in exactly 1 week. Show it off and let us know how it smokes once you get yours.
I have always been confused by the VAT tax. Part of the reason I have never purchased anything from outside the US. Do all of them drop it for your purchase, or just some of them? Been wanting to try some HU tobaccos and even seen some pipes I would buy, but when I see the price of a 50 gram tin would cost me $30-$40, I bow out.
If your shipping address is outside the EU my understanding is that all purchases are Ex VAT (cheaper than the listed price, unless the list price specifically says it’s Ex VAT). The pipes I’ve ordered have been around 15 Euro cheaper than the list price once the VAT tax is removed. Every UK site I frequent says they won’t ship tobacco to the States, though.
I haven’t ordered from them, but a buddy has purchased a few pipes from them. He brags about the great prices.
The Peterson 2015 Founder's Edition pipe arrived today. I had ordered the rusticated and hoped for the best because the site photo showed the cookie cutter rustication pattern I'm not that thrilled with. However, when I opened the box, I was thrilled to see it actually had the gnarly rustication pattern Sykes said the company will use from now on. Beautiful broad silver band. Just finished smoking it and can say it instantly became my 1b Peterson favorite next to the 1a of the smooth XL23 Kinsale I have. The two combined make great deeply bent pipe companions. Came with an attractive presentation box. If this is the last pipe I ever buy-and it likely is-I'll feel I went out on a very high note. :D
That's the blasted version of it, though mine is p-lip. Attempted to find a comparable photo of mine online-don't have a camera to take pics-but could not find a good example featuring the type of rustication mine has. Most all examples I've found have that waffle thing going on.
