Hey, i am a new pipe smoker and i baught my second pipe today, it is a peterson standard system. I think that there's a deflaut in it. Look at the botom of the chamber. Is this bad? Should i smoke it? Will it burn out?Any help would be very appreciated. thank you very much

That's just a chip in the carbon coating. Many people remove the coating altogether before smoking a new pipe.

Most of the time you may not even smoke down that far. The bottom layer of tobacco absorbs all of the nicotine, tar, and moisture as you smoke and may become too wet or too bitter to smoke. Even if it were a defect, it wouldn't become an issue. If you do smoke most of the time to the bottom of the chamber, and it were a defect, it would cake over anyway, so again, no issue.?

There's no flaw in Peterson pipes. It's all by design. Well, that's what I tell myself. I'm certain most will disagree! Welcome to the forum.

It's hard to tell from a 2D photo how deep that hole is. I'd guess not too deep, but that'd be just a guess.

The hole is about 1mm (guessed by finger feel)

1mm is not a problem at all, I don't believe. If that was my pipe, I'd smoke it.

If it would make you feel better, you can send your Peterson to me and I'll very carefully break it in for you over the next 7-28 years. By that time, it should be well caked, broken in gently, and ready for your roughest use and abuse!

Jocularity aside, don't fret the little nick. It will all be just fine and dandy. Cheers!
