    Unusual Peterson

    I just acquired this pipe in a trade. The shape is most unusual . . . I've never before seen a Peterson like this one. And, the shape number, 15, stamped at the end of the underside of the shank, traditionally belongs to a billiard, not a full-bent. It is graded Supreme. Can you tell me...

    Peterson's 9BC saved by Charles Lemon

    I found a very badly cracked Peterson's 9BC on eBay. Although I thought I'd never smoke it I won it for an appropriate price. I contacted several restorers and Steve Laug referred me to Charles Lemon (WWW.DADSPIPES.COM, DADSPIPESRESTORATIONS@GMAIL.COM) who performed some miracles, including...

    Sampling Virginias

    Some of us older pipe smokers - myself included - find ourselves drifting away from English blends, finding greater enjoyment with the Virginia species. Recently, I sampled six Virginias and Virginia blends. Now, I'm not the kind of reviewer who reports tasting blackberries, green watermelons...

    Show us your Genods.

    This very large and beautifully-grained Genod was carved by Jacky Craens, probably in the 1990's. I won it on eBay, for a song. It has some of the most beautiful grain I've ever seen. And, it's big . . . 2-1/2" bowl . . . and an excellent smoker.

    GLP Charring Cross to trade

    Seven or eight years ago I tried Charing Cross, liked it, and bought a few tins. Now, I'm much more into Virginias and VaPers and would like to trade a sealed 8-oz. tin of Charring Cross for a like quantity of Virginia (multiple 2 oz. tins would be fine). One I tried recently and like a lot is...

    Change in Peterson's nomenclature?

    Peterson's now has a sandblasted line they are calling Rustico. Has this replaced Kapruf?

    The Peterson P logo

    Some of the stems on my Peterson’s have a “P” and some do not. This is true of both pre-Republic and Republic pipes. Is the application or omission of the “P” a decision or an oversight? If a decision, on what is it based?

    Celius stems

    I've been collecting Celius for a few years now and especially like shape 12, a half- to three-quarter bent slender Dublin. I have examples of shape 12 in the top four grades, lacking only a Pawn (sandblast) to complete the set (I'm waiting to find one as nice as the one that I was too cheap to...

    Latakia Surprise

    Re Greg Pease's article on changes in tobacco tastes: Sam Atalah, the owner of Cigar Empire in Santa Barbara, CA, where our club meets, is from a town near Latakia, Syria. He told me that Latakia is pronounced La-TAH-kee-a, not La-ta-KEE-ah as we've been calling it for all these years! Wow...
