    New Peterson - draft hole too high?

    Hey guys, Sykes has already posted here, but Just a couple of notes to speak more broadly. 1) Regarding the height itself, do bear in mind that bent pipes — especially bent factory pipes — are always going to be on the high side. This one might be a smidge higher than normal, but from what I...

    Peterson & Laser Engraved Nomenclature

    Hey guys. Just as an FYI: that was the case, but one of our first moves was to shy away from laser engraving. 2019 SPD were hand stamped, as were 2019 PotYs for the first time in a few years.

    No Peterson PotY 2018 in the states?

    I know Smokingpipes.com is putting them up soon, this week or next, I believe. Not sure when other US retailers are putting them up, as these were distributed prior to our purchase.

    Peterson Pipes Has A New Owner.....
