    coating on smoking chamber

    Peterson 307 vs 314

    Hi guys, I haven't logged on in a long time, I can't see the photos above. Am I the only one that can't see them or do I have some settings wrong? I'm interested in a pete 314 or 317 and was hoping to find some size comparison photos. I have a 312 but would like something smaller.

    Xikar pipe lighter

    Thanks for the input Steve S. I ended up getting the Xikar Resource at my local B&M. It is the imitation briar finish and so far I really like it. I've had it about 3 weeks now.
