    The One Peterson Pipe I Wouldn't Recommend Buying.

    I have all of the SH pipes in various finishes. I. Hate. Them. All. To me they are all a step off firewood. There, I said it.

    Pipe Collection Succession Planning

    My plan, which my offspring already know about, involves five contacts and this Forum with my information. I have pipes way too valuable for Smoking Pipes, no shade on them, but there are better ways. Mind you, I’m 62 and have no plans of sucking starting a pistol or ending up in a ditch...

    I Got A New Pipe!

    Good looking pipe. Pete’s have definitely gone through various iterations of rustication.

    NHL Playoffs... Who's Watching and Who You Got?

    I hate losing. But what does one expect when during a critical 2-1 series and a 2-2 is on the table, you allow the other team to muck it up and you play into their muck. Perry and Kane are dirty players. But, boy are they cutting through the knights like a hot knife through butter. My...

    NHL Playoffs... Who's Watching and Who You Got?

    Wild Bill - 71 an OG Misfit received a puck from OG Misfit McNabb and took it the way down the ice like a one man hockey team and then sent the puck to a trailing OG/Reformed Misfit and rest is history. Vegas Baby. 0.4 seconds left. Everyone else was prepping for OT. Not the Misfits.

    Summer Intern

    Several years I was asked if I would take on a summer intern. I figured what the hell, sure. So I met with the intern. It was glorious. Hard worker, truly wanted hands on knowledge in my field of expertise. I was actually sad when the summer was over. Two years ago the same school...

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Here are a couple Pete’s. These are big Pipes. No shape codes but they are bigger than a 309. Both are Pre-Republic and both are Made in England. The bottom pipe is also interesting because it has a Deluxe Cap and Stem, but is stamped System. I have other pipes from the era that are Deluxe...
