    2025 Peterson Halloween Pipes Just Dropped

    Been smoking the heck out of my new 312, it's a champ! And look at this, fully suspended by the ridge of the bit that's as smooth and comfortable as can be.

    What Is With Petersons Using P-Lips For All Their New Releases?

    As I posted on the "Show off your Petersons here" thread...... This is my new 2025 Halloween 312. It's lit, loaded, and fully suspended over the rim of this glass, by ONLY it's inferior ridge under this absolutely smooth and comfortable P-lip. I love them. And, the new ones are apparently...

    Regarding the buttons and the new acrylic stems on the system standard line, check this out. This loaded & lit 2025 Halloween 312 is hanging full suspension via the inferior ridge of the P-lip on the edge of this glass. Only. Pretty damn good, I'd say. And it's as smooth and comfortable as can...

    I just got an email back from SmokingPipes and was told the ferrule is solid copper, without a coating. I don't know what was going on with the one I got, but my eyes didn't like it. With this information I may give it another shot. I don't mind shiny copper or a nice patina on it, just didn't...

    Jim's STG Versions of Mac Baren Blends Reviews.

    I am so glad I paid attention to the old guys around here and bought a lot more than I wished to have "now". Doing that for the last 3-4 years has made a big difference for my future self; both for what I have, as well as the cost I incurred. Buy now, smoke later. It's so true.

    Pipe Cleaning and Maintenance

    Clean everything after every bowl in any given pipe. It seems like a chore in my brain, but only takes 2-3 minutes. Sometimes it's done a day or 2 later. I enjoy adding the usage of the cheap Neerup? bristle brushes from SP. Just a few bucks and last a long time. I use them in addition to pipe...

    So... What OTHER Hobbies Occupy Your Time?

    Like a pipe, all my interests have morphed with my age, experience, and ability. As an example, I'm no longer skiing double black diamond runs in Colorado... A lot of simpler things now. I try to use activities as exercise, like splitting a big pile of wood for the winter last wknd. Probably do...

    Hadn't thought about a "coating"; but to what purpose would they have done that? Short term "protection"?

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    I wondered the exact same thing; but the sample I got "looked" exactly like it was disappearing just as I've seen on the old Gold Block...... I suppose I could order another one to inspect and see for myself if it was a fluke. It def was not giving off a patina effect. If someone else has one...

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    I was initially under-impressed with the thought, but studying closely I took a chance. I do really like it in hand. I also REALLY wanted to have a Christmas Pete with the copper, but the one I ordered was already losing it's copper plating? and I hadn't even fondled it yet. I love the idea...

    Best affordable pipes?

    I had a Molina "naked" that was quite fun to watch becoming colored. That was before I moved on to P-lips though, so it has a new home. Which reminds me, I'm certain I had 2 differently shaped "naked" Molinas, so I must have another new one in it's box somewhere that I need to dig out and move...
