Anniversary of the Peterson System Pipe

[Streeper541]

The site was down for a long time today, but I still wanted to share with those who care a special anniversary before the day was out.

On this day, September 3rd, 124 years ago, Charles Peterson’s System Pipe, received its final patent. So, light up a System Pipe this weekend and pay homage to a great contribution to the hobby. Maybe even fill it with an SPC blend in remembrance of Joe Lankford.

If you'd like to read a fun article about the System Pipe and the way us Pete Geek's are celebrating this week, check out Mark Irwin's Peterson Pipe Notes blog.

Sláinte!

I think the 4AB was/is a System? I can join in!

Just finished some Balkan Supreme in my Peterson’s 304 system pipe. Love that pipe, especially the p-tip.

I might have time for System Pipe tomorrow. Hard to make time lately. Probably 301 with Balkan Supreme.

For those who get tongue bite,the P Lip is the cure

Haha, the only time I've experienced it was my very first bowl of Wilke No. 515 in my new Peterson SH Rathbone. I'm sure I did everything wrong and that P-lip just focused what was coming out of the pipe in a big hurry on the tip of my tongue.

It wasn't horrible, but noticeable for a bit - having said that, I've never had anything I could call "bite" since with any stem, tobacco variety or age, but I really like the P-lip in a bent stem - I'm really not a fan of it in a straight one for some reason, but I only have one straight Peterson and I don't think I'll continue to own it much longer.
