Three new to me old Petersons
I've been away for awhile and been busy with other things. I've not been completely inactive though. Recent aqusitions include a 1922 half sized bulldog that I picked up at the Raliegh show and a cased set from Gary Malmberg's Second Hand Smokes. First the mini bulldog. This thing is about half... -
Peterson dip staining
As some here may know, I have Skype and have subscribed to their European and British Isles service. A few days ago I spoke with the head of Peterson Pipes, Mr., Tom Palmer about dip staining the System pipes. He told me it had to do with the flow of the work and that they weren't dipped but... -

King Of Shaves Alphagel
If you find a place to buy it, Omega makes a fine soap in a tub that responds very well to a short bristle badger. Want to save some money though? Lather up with Dove toilet soap. It works very well. The shay butter make your skin slick as a baby's bottom.- chuckw

Savinelli vs. Peterson "systems"
Peterson uses the famous or infamous, depending upon your like or dislike of the brand, P-lip that directs the smoke stream up to the roof of the mouth which is a boon for aromatic and some Va. smokers. They also use a graduated bore in the stem to smooth the transition from the mortice to the... -
Need glasses?
I have no affiliation with these people except as a well satisfied customer. Over the years, I've bought 7 or 8 pair of glasses from these people and every prescription has been bang on with the only adjustments being for the temple and nose pads. They are in Hong Kong and it takes about 3 to 4...- chuckw

Bad Aroma
Bubba's use of coffee beans is what I used to use if I had an off putting smell in a trailer. When that last company I worked for sold the truck out from under me, it had a strong aroma of 5110. I spread some ground coffee around on the floor and the new owner didn't notice my tobacco.- chuckw

A question on buying Peterson Pipes, Help needed
I don't know how I missed this thread. I asked Angela Fortune just last week if they did commisions and she said definatly no. You can pick fishtail over P-lip in most Peterson shapes. As for banding, I don't think they will put a silver band on a System Standard or some of the entry level... -

What is your around the house pipe?
As I dedicate my pipe to certian types of tobaccos, I chose a pipe depending on what I want to smoke at the moment, so I don't have a particular pipe. -

Peterson tobacco stopping in US???
Shelly, I had a conversation with Angela Fortune just the other day. She is the customer relations VP for Peterson. She mentioned in passing that they are very busy trying to keep up with their orders. I assume from that, that some pipes aren't being produced for various reasons. A shortage of...- chuckw

New pipe bowl heavily varnished
I believe he said the varnish/stain was IN the bowl. If you find fills on the interior, mix powdered activated charcol with yorgut and apply a thin coat to the interior. Allow it to dry completely before smoking the pipe. Another fix is to mix grape jelly with some dry, powdered tobacco and...
