I retract my statement.
Really wanted to snag one, especially since I love Deluxe Systems and the Rua sandblast looks so cool. Alas. I promised myself to not spend too much money on pipes this year and the price for these was steep. They were also snagged up quickly, so by the time I was even aware, only a handful were left anyway. Maybe I'll get one on an estate sale or something one of these days.
Posted a photo on the “show your Petersons” thread, but thought maybe some here would like to see some different angles lol. Pretty groovy guys!
I’ve really enjoyed seeing other folks pipes that have shared, if anyone else feels inclined, would love to see them!

I really do honestly just love my system pipe. I feel like it's not a game changer but I feel like it's the best pipe design.Honestly, Peterson's never really caught my attention for the longest time. I wouldn't bring myself to try a P-lip either. I am now in love with these system pipes.
That's a beautiful pipe! I'm still anxiously waiting for mine, lol. Hopefully this week it'll arrive. I'll definitely be posting some pics.
Hmmm I wonder what the mail lady just handed me? I’ll check it out when I finish smoking the bowl I’m currently enjoying.
Odd. I just got 2 boxes like that on my front porch!
My affliction is so bad I can't even remember what's to be found within...
Lol. This time I knew exactly what was in there.
Even though SP listed it as a 9s and I said I bought a 9s, this is my new 9B.
I could check my account history, but I think I'll go with the surprise when I open them this evening.
Yea ? Speaking of…What’s up with the model designations? B is tapered, S is saddle, generally ?
I noticed the “9B”s in the deluxe system range were noticeably shorter than the 125th Rua ”9s” models. Not really a criticism, just an observation. Mine is most certainly stamped 9s on the pipe itself .
That’s not how Peterson naming conventions work. 9s just means deluxe shape.

Mark Irwin talks about this. Look at the last comment in the comment section after the article. Something about the stamps for the smaller pipes being long gone.

Lol that’s kinda funny.
“While they have some stamps going back to the 1950s, the older, smaller number stamps are gone–probably worn out. But we all know these are “B” stems. And so do they.”

You Americans are being spoilt, can't find any in the UK, plus all the 2013 Christmas pipes I can find are all Fishtails and not P-Lips

So I have found, I have many Christmas pipes with P-lips from the past in my collection, never mind, I know what my main Xmas present is this Year, a full collection of unsmoked Sherlock Holmes Series, all with p-Lips and in the Petersons Sherlock Pipe Rack, a great find by my Darling Partner, She didn't take much persuading to buy me it, just a big present for her, a 4 story Dolls House.
