In Love With My New Peterson
My next Pete was a Sherlock Holmes ‘Hudson’ which I love as well. I just can’t get over the comfort of the Emerald though when clenching. The balance is perfect. -
Smoking to the Bottom of the Bowl.
The new Peterson Emerald I have will smoke to the bottom of the bowl especially now I’m using the breath method. That’s great with some tobacco I have, like Old Dublin but with my Erinmore it still gets bitter towards the bottom so I just stop. It’s only a tiny bit of baccy I’m losing now.- steelarts

Smoking to the Bottom of the Bowl.
Yes, I’ve found that the breath method which involves a gentle ‘exhale‘ (for want of another word) does keep the pipe going. Along with gentle tamping throughout the smoke it definitely keeps the pipe going. I only need to relight now as I get towards the bottom of the bowl. But, depending on...- steelarts

In Love With My New Peterson
What do you think of the “system”? I’m considering getting one but actually prefer filtered pipes now so I can’t make up my mind to take a risk on one or not. -
Hello From Sussex, England
Welcome from a born again noob. A Falcon was my first pipe as it happens. It wasn’t out of choice, it was all the local newsagent stocked!😂 I lost track of it, along with my meershaum many years ago unfortunately.- steelarts

In Love With My New Peterson
I’ve looked at system pipes I prefer to smoke with a filter but I could be tempted. -
In Love With My New Peterson
That’s my old Zippo that I etched and engraved for myself (I’m an engraver by trade) about 25 years ago. It’s stood up well to a lot of use and abuse in that time. Even when I quit smoking I still use it a lot for work. My only regret is I only embellished one side. -
In Love With My New Peterson
I’m really tempted by the Sherlock Holmes ‘Hudson’ I must admit. -
In Love With My New Peterson
I can clench and smoke the pipe for ages without removing it from my mouth. Unless you’re just putting the mouthpiece between your lips and sipping I find the P-lip is as easy to smoke as the regular mouthpiece. I honestly don’t see why anyone would have any difficulty smoking it. -
What Peterson Should I Get?
Try Muttonchops’s “breath method”. You breath through your nose but use your mouth to sip in and push out the smoke. He describes it as “the action of using mouthwash”. Once I understood that it is so easy to do. It’s brilliant and it keeps your pipe alight to😃 -
Smoking to the Bottom of the Bowl.
I find with the new Peterson it will smoke right to the bottom of the bowl with none of the bitterness I used to get. Like you, I’m definitely a filter convert. I don’t know how people can say it ruins the flavour of the smoke; in my experience I think it’s better. I haven’t tried (or even...- steelarts

In Love With My New Peterson
I just got my first Peterson and I absolutely love it. It took me weeks of deliberation and research to finally decide on a new pipe and it hade to have certain specificactions. It had to be lightweight and not overly large and it had to have a filter. The P-lip I found intriguing so I decided... -
What Peterson Should I Get?
Enjoying my new Peterson Emerald. Geez, I wish I’d bought one when I started pipe smoking all those years ago 😂 -
What Peterson Should I Get?
I just got my first Peterson and it’s got a p-lip. I WISH I’d known about this years ago. No more tongue bite and it encourages a gentle sip to taste the smoke rather than getting that blast from a fish-tail. The only reason I can possibly think for your argument is it might well put you off any... -

Smoking to the Bottom of the Bowl.
I got my new Peterson Emerald’ today. strangley it smoked right to the bottom of the bowl and all that was left was ash. The P-lip was wonderful and I got none of the bitterness I sometimes experience when my other pipes near the end of the bowl. Do you think my cheap pipes might have had...- steelarts

Any Advice on Quitting Cigarettes?
I quit cigarettes back on the 1 January 2000. The main thing is it has to be something YOU want to do; any other reason and you‘ll fail or come up with an excuse to start again. You need 3 months and then the cravings will stop. I say cravings but it’s not just the nicotine, it’s the whole...- steelarts

I also ordered som Kendal Cream, Peterson Navy Rolls, and Old Dublin. That should keep me going for a while. I’m a bit...- steelarts

Does the Quality of a Pipe Increase with its Price?
When something is hand made by craftsmen/women I can fully appreciate the value. But nowadays a lot of processes in manufacturing of high end products are mechanised and the companies cut costs but still charge premium prices, relying purely on the brand name. It’s here that I start to question...- steelarts
