Any Love For the Peterson B shapes

[Bengel]

I have one B10 and two B11's, all fine smokers. I like the B11's for being sitters, brandy-shaped, and the briar Calabash B10 is great in hand and also a fine smoker. I've been lucky with Petersons. I have quite a few, and all have worked well. I've never culled a Peterson from the herd.

I love those brandy sitters, finding one of those that scratched the itch could get me back in the game?

My only B shape is B 42..one of the first ones ...I love the shape B 40 which is kinda rare these days

Pics or it didn’t happen

The lines of the B10 really please me. So much so that I have three of them: A blasted spigot, an Irish Harp, and a Dracula. The spigot and Dracula are effortless smokers that pass a pipe cleaner easily. The Irish harp is a looker, but it is improperly drilled. I've been whittling away at it, but haven't got there yet.

A real looker, hope you have success. Bents are difficult .

An earlier thread mention B10s inspired me to get one of these.

This is the version of the B56 I would enjoy.

One I forgot, that does not get enough attention from me a B7 Clontarf

I've got a b10 amber spigot. Lovely shape?

I really like the B30, got both a smooth & rustic. Hard to find, wish they made more.

Anyone collect the Bs? I have caught the B bug and notice that more are being produced. Show yours off if you have em.

I have 3 Peterson B pipes.

Donegal Rocky B10


Arklow B5


Killarney B5


They all smoke well, especially the B5's.
Along with the 606 the B5 has probably become my favorite Peterson shape.
I'd like to get a B7 but they're extremely difficult to find...

Yep, been keeping an eye out for this shape too. Wish I didn't pass up on this in 2012 (I think that was the year).

You obviously have good taste!
I got the smooth when it came out, St Pat day 2010, but the rustic I ordered from the factory. Back then you had to pick them up (they wouldn't ship them due to US distributor's agreement) but my brother was traveling there and picked it up for me.
Reminds me of the Stanwell 63, which I collect (Stanwell has a plateaux top). I like half bent Dublins and billiards.
FYI, the B30 was also the Suir, a sterling army mount, from the River Collection.

Seems like we have the same taste as I also love the Stanwell 63 (as well as the 64). Do you have pics of your B30s?

Does anyone know what attribute unites all these as “B“ shapes?

The bend and stummel shape make it look more like a 314 or 317.

That's a 317. Here is the B42;

The B42 being released on Friday as part of the Rusticated Spigot line looks pretty spiffy.

That is actually the 317. See above for the B42.

You're correct... my mistake.. both look spiffy, but I like the looks of the B42 as well.
