Well, I didn't want to do it, because I was wanting to focus on tobacco right now. But Smokingpipes has a 15% off sale on Estates and this pipe popped up. I rarely buy my Petes as Estates. I prefer them new. But I made a rare exception for this. I've wanted one of these since 2013, which was the first year I smoked a pipe, but even though I've seen a few here and there, I've never grabbed one because I was either looking for something else at the time, or I didn't have the funds. Well, technically I was looking for something else this time around too, but the odds of what I'm looking for showing up somewhere are extremely low, so what they heck. One of the things that struck me about these was the raised "Smoking Man" logo on the silver band, which isn't shown well in these photos. I'll provide more photos of that when it arrives. And the shape is somewhat different for a Peterson, but it still LOOKS like a Peterson, if that makes any sense. I guess you could call it graceful, yet stout, which Peterson does so very well. I think it will be a fantastic addition to my Peterson collection.
Of course, now that I've spent the money, that other pipe I've been hunting will likely turn up somewhere :rofl:
