Peterson POY-2011 sandblast

Mark Tinsky Black/Tan Bulldog..

Well these two are killing my pipe-soul...I guess I can do without electric this month...more time to get some RnR and do more pipe-smoke'in by candle light :puffpipe:
@ the end of the race I think the Tinsky would win my business, need to support all our US-based pipe-makers out there...

I am rather new to pipe smoking so who are US based pipe markers/manufactures besides Dr. Grabow and Missouri Meerschaum.

Pipedia.org has a pretty good list of pipe manufacturers old and new. This is definitely a start.

Uncle A, Mark Tinsky, Jake Hackert, Boswell, etc if I have left you out I'm sorry but again just some of them... all fantastic pipe makers IMO

Wow, those are beauties! I think I was looking at the Tinsky before, hemming and hawing over I should pull the trigger. This is the first time I've seen the Pete and WOW!!!

Loving that Pete. I'm planning on getting a smooth one eventually.

As real and true Pete nut, I am heartily disappointed in their POY this time around. YMMV.

Pipes are great, and electric is so over-rated anyway.

My local B&M has some nice Randy Wiley pipes, reasonably priced too. he did a repair on one of my very old Edwards pipes, was better than new.

I'm not a huge fan of the Peterson either. It just seems too clunky.
The Tinsky looks AMAZING though.

Me too, Marm. It's not a bad looking pipe, but I think there are some better shapes IMO.
Now that Tinsky...Beautiful!
