    Peterson Pipe of the Year 2023

    I think if you cut the end of a P lip off you can make the fishtail out of it...BUT I never tried yet but logic tells me its possible.I own one old Peterson Erica from 80s and the stem looks like modified p lip to fishtail...

    Yep..And the swan neck shape is so close to the geometry of my fishtail 91 SH Professor(they used to make them slimmer in those years) so I will pass on this POY..But its a beautiful pipe

    Your Approach When Finding Your White Whale?

    Well,finding a white whale is always a special day for me..I own 3 pipes in 400-500$ range and 3 from 500-750$..Yes they are worth every penny to me..They sure are cheaper than several 7000$ guitars I like too or single action revolvers ..On the other side I drive 23 years old truck which saves...

    Comparing Sun Bear

    I bought 7 tins just because I tested samples of other years Sunbears which I really liked ..But I have been charged some new nonsence excise tax in NC and sales tax as well so I will not order any tobacco anymore...It is just cheaper to buy in SC.

    Neerup About to Burnout?

    I thought about to contact Peder directly about it but even if he made me another pipe he can't replicate this pipe exactly and I have some sentimental value in this one so I am keeping it..Its possible to fix I think with some glue over the burnout area inside a bowl or pipe mud or similar..MY...
