Mark Twain Peterson Set

[hawk60ce]

Anybody have these pipes? Good smokers or do you just keep them to look at? I'm dropping hints to my better half. Thanks

Those are sweet pipes. Great for smoking or admiring.

Darnit, now I want one.

The tankard looks real nice too. I say get 'em, smoke 'em and enjoy 'em. Then tell us how great they are so we're doubly in awe.

Must fight the urge to buy all pipes i see...........

I have the bent pipe from an 80's set. It smokes great and hangs just perfect.

I have them, It's a set of 2, one supposedly like the pipe Twain smoked, a bent billiard with military mount, the other a poker which is shaped like a corn cob, which was smoked by Huck Finn. The Huck Finn has a normal tenon and fishtail bit, the Twain a p-lip. Both have silver bands. I keep them in a pipe rack, not the box, and smoke them regularly. They smoke the same as other Petersons in the $200 price range, which is very well. Of course it depends on the quality of the briar that is used in the particular pipes you get, but Peterson is fairly predictable in this respect, so the more it costs the better it smokes. I know that some people would disagree with this but it is true. The straightness of the grain does not matter, but the tightness does. My Huck Finn pipe is made from a beautiful block of briar and smokes very well. I enjoy it very much. The Twain a little less so, but it is a good smoke that rests comfortably against the chin. I won't bother to do pictures, but you can see these pipes at smokingpipes.com.

I've been tempted to acquire this set as well. I hear both smoke wonderfully. I kinda prefer the cool Huck Finn inspired one over the bent billiard inspired by the Peterson Twain smoked himself. Regardless, both are gorgeous and I've only heard great things about how they smoke.

I've seen this set on Cup o' Joes and have had to resist the urge to pull the PAD trigger. I love Pete's, and the shape tandem is almost too good to pass up. The only thing holding me back is the price.
But soon... :twisted:

If it ever comes out that they wont be making them or that ysoon wnt be able to get them, i will find a way to make it work. Until then, i will admire from afar...

Just tell the wife it is was a limited run and once they are gone, they are gone....

I thought Mark Twain smoked corn cobs, those are fake I tell you :P Here's the real Mark Twain Pipe!

All I can say is thank God for Missouri Meerschaum, that pipe looks terrible!

 

[sjpipesmoker]

mrenglish, I've tried that a few times...with no success
now I just buy it and deal with the wrath later!!!

 

[mrenglish]

Haha, yes! It is better to ask for forgiveness now than permission a lot of times.

 

[foggymountain]

My wife is self supporting. I guess that is why I have so many pipes.

That is one sweet set!
