    So I've become enamoured with the pub pipe, love the Oom Paul shape............but!. They are big and with that comes problems so I'm reaching out to see how owner operators find their Peterson Pub Pipes, warts and all assessments please.

    BBB 1892 Questions

    Happened upon this BBB pipe with what appears to be an amber stem and a rather long one at that. Hallmarks are Birmingham 1892 and pipe is in original case. It looks like a crack in the stem, not sure if it's all the way through or not. My questions are: What's it worth? Is it rare? Is that...

    Bowl Coatings….Why!?

    I’m just breaking in a new Castello and I really wonder why pipe makers persist with coating bowls. I know some like Peterson are water soluble and can be easily removed but some are down right horrid and like this current Castello it’s imparting a rather terrible taste. I know it’s supposed to...

    Hello from Tasmania, Australia

    Been a pipe smoker for 20 odd years and love it and the peace it brings just like my great grandfather, grandfather and father, guess it’s in the blood. I’m a farmer, sheep and cattle and live on the far west coast of Tasmania where it’s cold and wet for a fair bit of the year. I like pretty...
