    Who was born in 1961?

    I'm 1981, is that close enough?

    Has Peterson Quality Suffered in Recent Years?

    I agree that when someone posts something online, whether it be good or bad, it gets exaggerated for sure online. I'm sure there is no more issues with a new Peterson than a new Vauen or Savinelli, but you *never* hear about those.

    Has Peterson Quality Suffered in Recent Years?

    Petersons could be the most polarizing brand of pipes.

    My First Ever MM Corn Cob.

    Enjoy! Cobs are very resilient pipes, even lasting 6 months in the elements with no discernable adverse effects. The small bit of wood is usually just left in there. Don't worry too much about it.

    If he plays his cards right, Santa may bring him one this year.

    What do You See in this Pipe?

    It has a certain 'organic' look to it. If it speaks to you so much that you started a thread about it, you should snatch it up anyway.

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    @Briar Lee I bought this exact same watch from TEMU and all I can say is that you get what you pay for.

    Collectible Pipes Replaced Stems

    This is very similar to what I believe Michelangelo is credited as saying, that he starts with a block of marble and takes away the excess.

    Help with German Hunter.

    I suspect this was more of a souvenir pipe than a usable one. Very common for these hunter-style pipes.

    One of us! One of us! My cigar smoking neighbor has expressed an interest in pipes as well.

    Watch Out or Watch on? Pt 2.

    Spied at the Auto Show, a Porsche Design watch. Anybody know who's makes them?

    @Briar Lee looks like a solid piece!

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    I'd love to get another, but they are tricky to find.

    What are You Reading Now?

    I don't read a lot of Stephen King, but this one is just creepy enough to keep me reading, but not so terrifying as to turn me off.

    Collectible Pipes Replaced Stems

    I think it may depend on the age of the pipe. If the pipe is 100 years old, it might be a lot to expect an original stem. But the car analogy is accurate to a point. An all original classic car is going to be worth more than a classic car with an older restoration I think.

    Unexplained Scars on Baraccini Mare Blu 404

    I think it just adds to the character of the pipe myself. You can always make up some exciting backstory to tell your friends if you like.
