My picture wasn’t featured. Doesn’t matter I didn’t send one. Don’t they know who I think I am?

Obviously kidding, good to see Forum members in the mix.

I’ve seen some of those videos from the International Affectation League.
Just brutal how some of those boys almost lose a monocle.

Oh yeah, I can believe it.
Some of the injuries they guys suffer during a hurling game can be brutal. And that's supposed to be a game!

Shit gets real when walking sticks and zippos come out.

No. Having said that, I don’t consider myself a “Pete Geek”, even though I own somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 Peterson pipes…

I do have a walking stick made in Shillelagh, Ireland, and rarely does anybody recognize it for what it is. Even people I know with Irish surnames are like “What’s with cane?”

I’m definitely a Pete Geek, although I haven’t achieved formal CPG status. I ordered one. The design is awesome. My experience, however, with the durability of the finish of painted Zippos isn’t great, so this will be more for display than actual use. I believe there will be another opportunity to order these.

I did receive my lighter but found out about the whole blog, thread, and Pete Geek Pipe long after it was done - that was unfortunate. I'd LOVE to have one of the pipes...

For those of you that missed out on the Pete Geek Zippos, they are doing a second run of them.
Orders have to be in by March 3rd.

I believe Mark Irwin did. He speaks of design concepts on the blog post when it was announced . Link below.

I wasn't really interested in these until I saw @Streeper541's at the NASPC show this weekend. It's pretty dang sweet.

There's another one coming out but it's pricier at $200+
