    2017 Peterson Christmas Pipes Out!

    Bought an 03 and it's winging its way North as we speak. I quite like the stain and stem combo, and the blast work and grain alignment actually looks like someone thought about it this year. I am excited to see the pipe in person. -- Pat

    Would You Rather...

    Don't worry, there's a self-help group for current and past Secret Santa Shepherds. The punch is laced and so are the cookies. He'll be fine. -- Pat

    Pipestud Needs to Offer Credit Cards
