Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
I don't understand the appeal that drove this one to the price level it sold at. Is a 309 that rare? https://www.ebay.com/itm/404931594646- FLDRD

Peterson 221 vs 230?
I'd say the weight is inconsequential in this case.- FLDRD

Peterson 221 vs 230?
I don't have either of them but I'll pop up and say that they both look similarly great for clenching. I have loads of other bent Petes.- FLDRD

I'll have to double-check and make sure that it's drilled off-center since that's what has to happen for all bent pipes...- FLDRD

Show Off Your Petersons Here!
Well I hesitated at first when I came across it, but seeing that the rusticated ones had sold new at $250, I decided the pri$e was worth it for what I believe to be a beautiful specimen of a far more beautiful finish. Gently used.- FLDRD

How to Maintain Adequate Taste.
I'm fairly certain that for the longest time, I was attempting to relight when it truly wasn't "dead". It was just providing less voluminous and noticeable smoke, and I was using that as more of a gauge then I should have been - because I wasn't in touch with the subtle stream of smoke that is...- FLDRD

Zippo Fuel Lighter - Taste?
Smell only for the most part. Following those original instructions of old, and focusing on drawing the flame down from further above, does improve the results. I'm not sure they actually provide those "old" instructions with new purchases...- FLDRD

Opening A Tin? Show Us!
Ah, yes. This is more of what I was looking for! It started off in my absolute most favorite pipe: Peterson 2020 POTY, # 152 /400. * If any of you can point me in the direction of acquiring more of that pipe, I'd like to end up with a 7 day set. * Yeah, that sounds like I'm a collector, but...- FLDRD

Any Experience with These Petersons ?
Like all other pipe things, it'll be personal, and only personal experience will tell you. And it will likely vary by your conditions: blend, ambient humidity, breeze (outside?), etc. Mostly just remember to clean the well first. If not, you'll get a reminder!- FLDRD

Any Experience with These Petersons ?
I love the 314's and have a 1/2 dozen of them. They work very well for the angles and clenching for me and are light. Yet somehow I can get a very good session out of it's bowl size.- FLDRD

Opening A Tin? Show Us!
I've loads of tins on my shelves to dig in and try for my first time, and yesterday I did just that. Perusing the labels I came across this one and got excited from the listing of Virginia, Burley & Perique!! Popped it open and..... it smelled like Peterson Sunset Breeze? WTH? Dug into the...- FLDRD

Banking the Fire
I was never much of an ash dumper, more about slow compression. Even more so after preferring a "system" pipe.- FLDRD
