    Have any of you guys bought or looking very hard at the new Molly Malone series of Petes. I think I might pull the trigger in the next day or so.

    If at first you don't succeed you are running about average.

    I see in one listing they call Molly the Dolly with the Trolly. My Cousins in Dublin call her The Tart With The Cart! LOL

    I can't decide if I want the smooth or this one set of rusticated thats not as deep. I think the stems contrast perfect though, and I typically don't care for the look of Acrylic stems.

    I really want the sandblasted set! The perfect contrast... Does it get better than Peterson? (Rhetorical question; it doesn't get better!)

    They're very nice, but a little outside my buying power at the moment...

    Doesn't it hurt a little Mark? I'm in the same boat.

    Yeah, maybe a little, but you get used to it.... thank God all my old pipes still smoke good. I'm hoping things will get better soon, but it's hard to see spending over $300 for a pipe when your car is falling apart and you can't afford a newer one.

    There is no way I can afford that, but I can dream. I really like the grain shown on the smooth, but then I like the grain on all of the Peterson smooths I've seen, including the ones I do own. I like the sandblast and rustic as well, as long as I'm dreaming, I'll dream I've gotten one of each set.

    That Ebony Straight is a beautiful pipe. Too bad I'm not willing to pay that much.

    Kind of a sad legend. Beautiful song when done correctly, and who other than Paddy Reilly to do it;

    Must have been one of Ronnie Drew's last appearances.

    All three of my daughters love that song. I used to sing it to them when I put them to bed as wee children.

    I found myself in quite a predicament. I got approved by my accountant to purchase an expensive pipe. I has looking at a Dunhill. Then I found the Molly's. I decide to get the Molly set. Two pipes cheaper than the single Dunhill. I am 100% positive I made the right choice. Those smooth little beauties smoke great and the Bent Molly makes every tobacco some how taste better than in any of my other pipes. I made the right choice.

    It's always great when a purchase works according to plan. Even better when the puffer is more than happy with his purchase. WTG d00d.

    So the other day I was smoking the straight Rhodesian Molly and found two fills. I didn't not notice them early on, but as the bowl darkens a bit the fills have shown them selves. The pipe obviously still smokes the same but I am a little disappointed.

    You have me looking for fills in my Mark Twain Pete. I didn't find any, but the grain looks painted on. That is truly low. There was a recent post in the Peterson International Pipe Club complaining about Peterson bashing. They called it uncalled for. PAINTING THE GRAIN ON A PIPE? That stinks. It's like putting brick wallpaper on the outside of a wooden tenement and selling it as a brick house. Absolutely despicable. A while back I was planning to get a Peterson dealership for my camera store. I have dropped those plans. I don't sell cameras I would not use, and will continue that policy for pipes. I do have some very good Petes, and have recently sold a large number of not so good Petes. They really ought to have more pride.

    foggymountain, can you post a photo showing this grain that you think is suspect, I cannot picture what it might look like.
