Amazing. I just returned a mega-buck (for me anyway) Amber Spigot because of flaws in the briar, this from the same folks who kick out an Aran with grain like that, great grab.
:
I saw that. It wasn't that bad, and on any other pipe I could have lived with that flaw. But those natural amber spigots are pricey (honestly a little too pricey just for the amber in my opinion)and that stummel should never have been used for that line of pipes. I would have sent it back too. As much as I love Peterson and defend them, I'm a bit disappointed in their QC for that one.
Peterson amber spigot. As ssjones says a mega - buck. I had to ask the madam for a sponsorship.
The luck was, that she was not much angry that day.
It has arrived from the UK, a small bent shape 65 with a 85 mm long stem - the longest I have seen
on those. Clean bowl, fine grain.
I think I would have keept it, even with a small flaw.

Could not believe this was Aran, I like this particular shape by Peterson ,interestingly based on my contemplations similar but older 606 often had broader chamber and thinner walls what they come today.
