    GL Pease - Fillmore

    I need to try it again. Side note: I bought some Stratford to try, because he chose that as his everyday smoke. I know it says that it's Va/Per, but I couldn't find any Perique. It's good, but there is little to no Perique in it. I also got some Telegraph Hill, but I haven't tried that yet.

    Pipestud Needs Peterson Pipe Identification Help Please!

    Yeah. if the hallmark on the band matches the cap, it's a 1976. Gorgeous pipe. I will be watching this auction, as I would love to buy it. Pre-republic or not it's beauty and I love Peterson wind cap pipes.

    Old "New Coke" Tries Again

    I think soda companies are feeling a marketshare pinch and are trying to do anything to sell more product and stay relevant. I think the next big marketing move will be glass bottles. Since the major target groups are worried about plastics, glass will become more viable. Maybe the big boys...

    Does anyone know where to find a Fishtail Peterson 31 Stem?

    Peterson will make a stem with a fishtail for you. But like Anthony said, you have to send the pipe to them. I've sent a few to them, and had stems made. You can have any pipe repair person make a stem for you too.

    Peterson vs Vauen

    I don't have any Vauen pipes, I've only heard good things about them. I have 85 Peterson pipes, I've never had an issue. Peterson pipes definitely can polarize people. I've heard some people have had some issues with them. That said, the new owners. The Laudisi Group, has tightened up their QC...

    Peterson POTY for 2019

    Horrible Gurgling Pipes

    I acquired a beautiful pipe set and stand the other day, but the gurgle horribly. I'll probably just use as a display piece.

    The Pipe Cleaner Test

    First off, clean the sump really well with alcohol. Then, after that just swab with a folded cleaner after every smoke. Never let 'juice' sit in the sump after smoking. I got an estate system pipe from a guy. He said it was funky and he didn't like it. He was right, it stunk. All I did was clean...

    Petersons New Bowl Coating - Mark Irwin

    I hate breaking pipes in too. It's a necessary evil though. Some pipes break in easier than others. Breaking it a pipe can take a very pleasurable thing, pipe smoking, and turn it foul and wet. Companies that stain the inside of the bowl and shank are the worst. Foul bitter taste for 6-20 bowls...

    Lat Bomb

    C&D Star of the East The only true 'bomb' is Pirate Kake. Star of the East they say is 50% Lat. I've been told Commonwealth is too. Commonwealth is very good, it's Latakia and Virginia, whereas Stor of the East is Latakia, Virginia, and Orientals.

    Pipes with Caps

    I have quite a few Peterson Hinged Lids. I love them. The caps make smoking in windy conditions easy. The lid can get a bit in the way, so I typically use them only in windy conditions. I think they look pretty boss, and Peterson does not make them anymore. My holy grail pipe was the 408 in the...
