Peterson St. patricks day pipe arrival

So today was the day! I just got my new Peterson St. patricks day 2012 Pipe from Pipes&cigars.com
It's the 221 Bent billiard.
Here's the thing that's Bad. It's like a toy pipe! Ughhh!! It's so small It reminds me of one
of those mini corn cobs you see in a gift shop! I don't know what to do. This is smaller than any
other peterson I've ever owned. Did anyone else get one of these yet? Not sure if I'll keep it or return it.
Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.

I have the Petersen Rock of Cashel series 221. Its small but its got a deep bowl. It tends to get a little warm but its a great pipe for slow sipping. Light it up a few times before getting rid of it.
If you can't pack it, light it, and smoke it then why do it. It's a dieing art that must be rekindled in all of us as fortold by our forefathers.
Words to live by for all pipe smokers.

I don't think I'm gonna like it. It just feels to small in my hand. Almost like I have to
grip it with my thumb and forefinger like a fancy tea cup!
I'm just gonna return it for something different I guess. Major disappointed.

Picture with it next to something for scale?

I've already repacked it to ship it back for an exchange. Seriously this pipe was the smallest
bent Billiard I've ever seen. You couldn't hold it in your hand, you had to use 2 fingers and your thumb.
It was a nice pipe, and it's a shame they made it so small.

Sure your hands aren't monster sized.

I can understand your disappointment, but I feel like I should point out something. Pipesandcigars.com as well as most of the other online pipe retailers, list bowl dimensions for each pipe. I just checked, and pipesandcigars says your 221 has a 1.75" bowl height, 1.5" inner bowl depth, and a .75" bowl diameter. Yep, that's a smaller pipe. Might save you some hassle if you check pipe dimensions before buying
