    The Peterson Rack and Friends.

    A couple of friends of mine said I had to have a special rack for the 4ABs, and surprised me with this beauty. I had an extra space, so I put the original Sherlock Holmes pipe in the rack, too. What a great surprise this was for me!! There's nothing like having good friends. One of those fellas...

    The Peterson 4AB POTY Is Coming!

    My first exposure to Sherlock Holmes was the movies where Basil Rathbone played Holmes. I quickly learned that Sherlock Holmes was one of the earliest fictional detectives. Thanks to my local library, I was able to read every one of the sixty Conan Doyle written Holmes stories. The next year...

    Who Made This Pipe?

    I'm hoping somebody will be able to identify the maker of this pipe, and an approximate time frame for which it was made. It's hard to see, but the small dot on the top of them stem is aluminum or at least the same color as the shank.

    The stoved and unstoved 2020 red, orange, and floral lemon Virginias are the lead components. I notice the orange and lemon a little more than I do the red by taste even though the stoving changes the colors of the varietals to some extent. They offer a wealth of very zesty, fermented tart and...
