Impressive Purchase.

[bullet08]

Was just looking over Peterson. I much prefer silver band. But their Irish Made Army occasionally catches my eyes. I have been doing really well with PAD for a month or two. Then just browsing the Irish Made Army and their bulldog caught my eyes. It's like "shut up and take my money!" Damn. Had to add a tin to go over free shipping. Thank gods it's relatively low end pipe.

the tyrone's caught my eye- what tin did you get with it?

 

[mso489]

My Peterson's have been workhorses. I've never culled them from the rack.

This is my first time

I’ve added two more to your lies. ??

Whatever you do, don’t scope out their Derry line with acrylic army mount stems. ???

My wife got me a Derry for our anniversary last year. Great pipe.

The Irish Made Army and Tyrone line are probably my favorite Petes as far as looks, so good purchase in my opinion. I prefer the smooth finishes on Petes, personally. I never have been crazy about the blasts or rustication that Peterson does, for some reason, though lots of other people do.

Just realized I misspelled the title. It should be "impulsive purchase".

Eh, six one way, half a dozen the other. ?
I’m impressed ?‍

Same thing happened to me. I saw the new Peterson's Irish Made Army series and ordered one from my danged cell phone's web browser while in a doctor's exam room (didn't tell him though).
I've also enjoyed a well controlled PAD for a couple of months, and some how ended up ordering 3x pipes in 2x days!

If 3 pipes in 2 days is "well controlled", I'd really like to know your version of "totally out of control PAD" entails

I love Peterson’s bold shapes. I’m smoking some Esoterica Dunbar out of a Peterson right now, and it’s every bit a match for such a great blend, even if it’s just a middle of the road factory pipe.

I phrased that in a confusing way - my apologies. My PAD has been well controlled in the past 2-3 months until this past Monday. I ordered 3x pipes before EoD Tuesday (3x pipes in 2x days)

Completely understand. I go through the same soul searching and hand wringing (to justify another pipe purchase). Except my resolve lasts 2-3 weeks rather than 2-3 months

Can't go wrong with a bulldog Pete.

Love my Peterson's...Although for some reason, not a one, not the Dracula's nor the Kinsale's or the Aran's will pass a pipe cleaner. Maybe it's me. Anyway, Congratulations and I wish you years of enjoyment with your new Pete!

It’s not you... it’s Peterson. It’s pretty well known that most bent Petersons won’t pass a cleaner. Some people don’t mind about that. However, some of us do mind, hence the only Pete in my small little rotation is a straight shape. I do really like my one Peterson though.

Didn't know that. Thought it was just another of my newbie issues. Thanks for the info. Still love em though!

Time to graduate to a gold band Pete it sounds like.

It used to bother me and it was one of the issues that stopped me from buying Petes for quite a while.

Then I had a thought "your friends still like you in spite of your faults"

I love the look of Petes. And if they won't pass a cleaner, I'm not letting that stop me from buying one, if I like other things about it.
