Got my first estate pipe coming!

[wannafly34]

Vey excited to be having my first estate pipe coming...a Peterson 307 system. Some spit and polish is in order I'm sure, but thats just part of the fun!

We gotta see it when it comes in.

Of course! It would be nice for it to get here before Irene gets here Thursdsy or Friday, but we'll see :D

Que up Carly Simon's "Anticipation"! Be sure to post a picture when she arrives! (why are pipes always female to me?)

307 is a very nice pipe! 309 is also nice (I have three)

Ok...she came in today. Very excited!!! I do have some work to do in the cleanup department. She smells very strongly of latakia, which is OK by me Still will do the proper cleanup prior to smoking (the "reservoir" is as you might expect...pretty nasty), but I am excited! Being 4th generation Irish, I wanted my first "proper" pipe to be a Peterson.
Here's a pic, but I'll get a better one with wifey's D300. This was taken with my crackberry...

Enjoying being here folks. Just realized the other day that I crossed over from new to junior

Nice old pipe. Congrads on Junior. :clap:

Sweet! For estate system pipes I shove a cotton ball in the reservoir and soak it with alcohol. A nice overnight soak gets our amazing amounts of crud!

 

[wannafly34]

Excellent advice! I'm guessing alcohol of the dual purpose, correct? i.e. pipe cleaning, and, um....... :roll:

 

[unclearthur]

Some for the pipe. Some for the piper!

And so it begins....

Nice find! I've found that estate hunting is quite addictive.
