Ancient Pipesmoker

[GerryC]

Thanks for allowing me to join. I have been a pipe smoker for more than half a century and a bit of an obsessive pipe collector. I have a large collection of mainly Peterson pipes, but to be honest find it difficult to beat my Falcons for a satisfying smoke. I tend

Thanks for allowing me to join.

So, you've passed the test, paid your dues... of course we'll let you join. But, we do have a 30 day hazing period where we expect you to only post while setting in your backyard wearing only boxers. This is what makes our membership top notch.
Welcome to the internet's best smoking club. Have fun!

Does the silver hallmark not indicate its either a '49 or '51 based on whether that letter is an 'O' or 'Q'? Others around here certainly know better than I. I'm actually not familiar with the markings or their meanings, but am aware that they do mean something. I tried to get the clearest...

Greetings from Oklahoma. Welcome to the forum!

Thank you all for the very warm welcome. I feel a bit of a loner in darkest Lincolnshire as I have never come across a fellow pipe smoker! Our government now feels it their duty to put a stop, for our own good, to smoking! Methinks another civil war is brewing!!!! I will try to remember to photograph some of my Peterson pipes (in response to a kind post), but I fear it will only go to show the depths of my addiction! Gerry

Hi from Oldham, Gerry. Just joined myself a few days ago. I am also ancient and a Peterson and a Falcon fan.

You're not me by any chance? Maybe I have a split personality...

Wish I'd known about those hazing requirements before I joined in mid-winter!
