    New Peterson - draft hole too high?

    Hey guys, Sykes has already posted here, but Just a couple of notes to speak more broadly. 1) Regarding the height itself, do bear in mind that bent pipes — especially bent factory pipes — are always going to be on the high side. This one might be a smidge higher than normal, but from what I...

    Peterson & Laser Engraved Nomenclature

    Hey guys. Just as an FYI: that was the case, but one of our first moves was to shy away from laser engraving. 2019 SPD were hand stamped, as were 2019 PotYs for the first time in a few years. It's possible we might use it in very limited situations in the future, but on the whole we're getting...

    Books: The Peterson Pipe, The Story of Kapp & Peterson

    We most definitely will be carrying it. We're still waiting for our copies to arrive, but we've got everything ready, so we'll put them up the day they come in.

    Grousemoor Is Weird

    You're weird! But seriously, Grousemoor is one of my all time favourites, both the ribbon and the plug (though the plug wins). It tastes like rosewater and lemon grass and I love it.

    St. Patrick's Day Peterson Arrived Today.

    Our European site has one in a 9mm P-lip, if that helps. https://www.smokingpipes.eu/pipes/new/peterson/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=129272

    Another question about a Peterson: Fake or Real?

    I just checked the Smokingpipes.com archive, and there's been seven Peterson "Supreme" with no band over the last eight years. It doesn't seem like the norm, but it has happened. Hope that helps.

    Smokingpipes Europe is live!

    Unfortunately not. European regulations are just too burdensome to make it feasible. We split some off and brought them with. Right now we're open to purchasing estates in Europe, and eventually we hope to be self sufficient in that regard.

    No Peterson PotY 2018 in the states?

    I know Smokingpipes.com is putting them up soon, this week or next, I believe. Not sure when other US retailers are putting them up, as these were distributed prior to our purchase.

    Peterson Pipes Has A New Owner.....

    Yeah, but like barely off of Grafton, right across from Trinity College.

    Peterson Pipes Has A New Owner.....

    Our main focus was the pipe business, that's what we were most passionate about, and STG taking the tobacco side just made the most sense for all parties.

    Peterson Pipes Has A New Owner.....

    Laudisi has no ties to STG, no. We (Laudisi Enterprises) purchased Kapp & Peterson, the pipe factory in Sallynoggin, and the Peterson of Dublin store on Nassau Street, while STG purchased the Peterson line of tobaccos.

    SP Has Frog Morton

    We feel like we’ve been transparent about the fact that we would be getting one last shipment from McClelland, as others have noted on this forum, and we’ve gone so far as pulling down all listings except for the ones we expected to have back in. However, it sounds like there was some...

    McClelland Blends Still In Stock At SP

    Let me rule that out for you right now. In fact, C&D just expanded to a new premises, so not to worry.

    Cornell & Diehl's Melville Series

    Easily one of his better works, but it didn't really go with whole "...At Sea" thing, so no :/

    Broken Pipe: Lars Ivarsson

    Hey guys, as regretful as we are, we can confirm this to be the case. Sykes and Nanna spoke early this morning (last night her time) and she informed him of the sad news. Our thoughts go out to the Ivarsson family.
