New Petersons
I just had to show off these recent acquisitions--after all, I've been fighting off the buying disorder for a long time. The first is the new Peterson Sherlock Holmes PSB Mycroft pipe, later replaced with a fish tail stem, made by pipe maestro Silas Walls, who had the pipe directly mailed to him...- sparrowhawk

Briar Types
How does one distinguish between one grade of briar and another? For example, I recently bought a Sherlock Holmes/Mycroft PSB, which is said to come from the one percent of Peterson's inventory of briars. How would this grade of briar compare with a lower grade? Esthetically different (PSB...- sparrowhawk

In Praise of mso489
Since we have you and all the other admirers here, I thought I'd show you (after a long span of abstinence from pipe purchasing) this new one from Peterson's Sherlock Holmes SPG series. It's the top pipe: The one personal drawback is the P-tip. SP has sent the pipe to Silas Walls to make a new...- sparrowhawk

In Praise of mso489
I wanted to take a moment to thank that worthy gentleman, mso489, for his many tipsI over the years. I've adopted many items of advice, particularly wiping out the bowl of a pipe, preserving the bowl interior and rim, and my new Waterfords have never been better. So for that tidbit of advice and...- sparrowhawk

Pipe Tobacco Packing Techniques/Methods
My method has become so ingrained and reliable it's almost criminal. I start with a gravity feed to make sure the Lane Q-1 reaches the bottom, then a healthy pinch with my thumb. Tamp it flat for the charing light, then another tamp after the true light. This sounds complicated but it is so...- sparrowhawk

Body Oil Cleaning
How do you clean off body oil on pipe. I'm more cautious these days, washing my hands before smoking, but my finger oils have darkened my older pipes. How to clean?- sparrowhawk

No, just got this one, but probably on the order of a year old. I don't understand the problem some have with Petes; most of my pipes are Petes, and I've never had a problem with them.- sparrowhawk

Yeah, but mine is an unbent billiard. Still nice pipes, though--can't imagine why they discontinued them. Too simple for Peterson? Btw, greatest smoking Pete I have.- sparrowhawk

This pipe is a Peterson Waterford, now discontinued, and possibly the last one remaining, which I now own. It is a beautiful study in simplicity but is still clearly a Peterson.- sparrowhawk

Ideal Lighting for Pipes
What is your best lighter implement for your pipes. I have problems with Zippos, which char the chimney in no time, butanes fail to produce a flame reliability, and matches wear out a friction strip after a few strikes. What do you use?- sparrowhawk
