So, I went to the local tobacco shop this morning and he had just gotten in this gorgeous Peterson System Pipe. What caught my eye first was the condition of the vulcanite stem. I was ok with that as it can be fixed easily. The bowl chamber and the rim were flawless it had been smoked but it was in amazing condition. Well needless to say it came home with me. I am trying to date it but so far not having the best of luck. It smokes like a dream. Very happy with it for the price I paid.
